I believe too many women are suffering in silence and isolation as they give of themselves but don't receive the same support in return. I consider myself to be both "eclectic" and "holistic" in my approach, meaning that I use different types of proven psychotherapies (like CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-Based therapies) to help with the health and wellness of the mind, body, and spirit. Together this means I know that one method doesn't work for everyone and that I find it important to look at the whole you. You will be getting a customized healing journey that you help create because I trust that you are the best expert on your life. 

You are not alone! Do you experience times when you are controlled by intense emotions or are paralyzed by anxiety/fear, and at other times you feel detached and numb.

Each person has a unique sense of belonging and attachment that can be nurtured to achieve his/her best self.
