Education & Speaking

My experience in mental health has allowed me to expand into teaching and training groups, organizations, and churches with the admirable goal of becoming educated on identifying, addressing, and preventing abuse and trauma within their systems. Through real life stories and concrete data and action steps, clients learn how to spot abuse, confront abuse, and prevent abuse to better protect and advocate for those in their care.

Warmest greetings to you, brave soul.

Since 1997, my goal has been to make mental health beautiful and lasting. As the foundation of my work and advocacy as a psychotherapist, I believe therapy is about practicing honesty, self-love, and awareness of self with others. My experience in a variety of modalities can support your journey. Some of those modalities are:

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
Brainspotting
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Mindfulness Practices
Internal Family Systems, inner child work
Compassionate Inquiry
Communication strategies
Relationship coaching, whether personal or professional
Personal identity work using the Enneagram and other tools
Assertiveness techniques that build trust and understanding
Diagnosis of most mental health disorders

Along with these techniques and processes, I have intentionally designed my office for you to feel safe and supported as we cover difficult memories and topics. Specifically, you can use weighted blankets, a tac-audio scan for bilateral stimulation, various bilateral sound options, and essential oils. Additionally, I provide information on topics like trauma bonds, narcissism, cluster B, and parental enmeshment, along with the resiliency protocol I have written for those working through low self-esteem, low self-worth, trauma, anxiety, and depression. These and other tools are available to ensure you feel educated and enabled to journal and learn beyond the clinical hour.

My aim with all my work is to help you re-establish what you were born with—a natural ability to trust your gut instinct, your Inner Counselor.

Separately, I enjoy teaching and training on abuse (prevention and recovery), mental health, parenting, boundaries, and communication.
