Personal Statement
I am a licensed psychotherapist in California specializing in a mind-body approach. My own journey of healing from PTSD has most influenced my practice and belief in integrative approaches such as Brainspotting. If you have felt frustrated with traditional talk therapy or like you have plateaued in your healing than you are not alone. Holistic counseling offers a unique and powerful alternative to traditional talk therapy. Experience the power of your mind, body and spirit to transform and heal. Learn practical tools to make peace with your past, transform stress, create loving relationships, and rewire your brain for happiness.
Are you ready to feel better? Looking for an alternative to traditional talk therapy? Experience the power of your mind and body to transform stuck patterns, heal stress and trauma and ignite your authentic potential.

I focus on science based methods that empower individuals to create health, happiness, vitality. I individualize my approach using practices such as Brainspotting, EMDR, cognitive therapy, energy psychology, NLP, hypnosis, biofeedback, meditation and somatic therapies.
