The foundation of my work with individuals is establishing a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship shaped by secure attachment, non-judgment and empathy. This becomes the relational container from which we work together to identify present and emergent issues, and goals for therapy. Areas of practice include: complex trauma, anxiety, depression, co-dependency, self-worth/esteem, social marginalization, racial/bi-racial identity development, parenting, stress and overwhelm with life transitions, relationship challenges, blocks and feeling stuck, and spiritual exploration/awakening.

The foundation of my work with partners is supporting you to get unstuck from painful dynamics that keep getting repeated, and prevent you from relating to each other in supportive and enriching ways. Therapeutic interventions support you in getting to the root of the issues and set goals for moving forward. Areas of practice include: communication challenges, interracial couples, differences in parenting styles, infidelity, and intimacy difficulties. I also work with new couples who want to proactively shore up their union.

Reiki is an energy healing technique developed by Mikao Usui. Emerging from the Buddhist tradition, Reiki is derived from the works rei, meaning “universal”, and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living beings. Reiki treatments involve the transmission of healing energy to the body that supports your body’s innate balance and healing mechanisms. Sessions involve gentle touch, with recipients fully clothed. Reiki treatments promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and support nervous system regulation, and can be used in conjunction with traditional therapy.
