Traditional therapy is often a painstakingly slow process and can take years to see real results. This is because past experiences become stuck in the body, brain, and nervous system. Studies on adverse childhood experiences reveal the negative impact that these experiences have on physical, mental, and emotional health. The body “Keeps the Score.” What’s more, that impact is stored in our DNA. This is how familial patterns get passed from one generation to the next. By combining traditional tools with holistic modalities, patterns are broken as mental, emotional, and physical balance is restored to the brain, nervous system, and body. Clients see real results much more quickly, often in just a few sessions.

For humans to be mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy, life force energy, known as Chi in China, Ki in Japan, and Prana in Hawaii, must be balanced and flowing. I teach parents how to heal by learning how to balance their energy and heal the impact of adverse experiences for themselves and their children. Once the trauma is healed energetically, cycles are broken as mental, emotional, and physical health is restored.

I blend a decade of experience in supporting individuals (including children and adolescents), families, and groups with training in psychotherapy, coaching, and holistic healing to help you navigate this journey.

I am a psychotherapist trained in Psychodynamic Theory, Child Parent Psychotherapy, and Family Centered Treatment. I also have a graduate certificate in Family Life Coaching.
