Professional statement

If you are in need of trauma healing from the past and present, I am the therapist for you! "Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional" ~Old Buddhist saying~ Pain is a part of life but it does not have to rule your life. Suffering is not a part of life. We do it to ourselves by allowing our pain to take over our lives. Thus, we only cause ourselves more pain and suffering. You don't have to sit alone with your pain and suffer. I am a deeply empathetic and effective therapist. I believe that trauma should not be a life sentence for anyone so I am trained in the best techniques to help free you from the pain of your past and move you forwards towards peace, joy and fulfillment in your life. I am certified in hypnotherapy techniques such as BLAST and soon to be certified in RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) which can powerfully, quickly and permanently help you to resolve trauma and long-standing life issues through the subconscious. It would be my pleasure and honor to be a part of your journey towards Healing. I am here for You. I am deeply committed to each and every one of my clients. This isn't just a job to me. It is my Life's Work. My clients feel how much I care about them and have been experiencing profound positive life change through our work together. I am passionate about working with clients of all ages whose lives have been impacted from trauma and grief, PTSD, addictions to dysfunctional, toxic relationships, drugs/alcohol and other self-destructive behavior. I am also strongly committed to helping clients to understand the Narcissistic Personality Disorder as well and learn emotional coping strategies for their empowerment.


Message to clients

It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and admit that you need help. I understand. I know that it can be scary. I admire your courage to take this big step towards your healing, wholeness and empowerment. My heart and soul is here to uplift and bring healing to yours. I can't wait to meet you and to be a part of your healing journey. Together, we will get through anything!

Questions about my certification in the BLAST and ADVANCED BLAST technique? The BLAST allows us direct access to the root of the trauma. Neuroscience research shows that the right hemisphere of the brain is overactive and acting as if there is an immediate threat in sufferers of PTSD and trauma. The Blast technique utilizes precise bilateral movements with a light pen (which helps the memory access the left hemisphere of the brain) and specific suggestions to clients which helps reprocess the traumatic event so they can understand what happened and remember, but no longer feel a physical or emotional response to the trauma (no more physical or emotional reactivity to the trauma or reminders of the trauma).

Client Testimonial 1 month after one BLAST session (40 year-old Female):

"It has been life-changing! It's taken my body out of auto-pilot fight or flight mode. It's given me back Power! I have control of things. I feel more relaxed, more present. I feel so comforted, so safe.. like I'm on some kind of drug! Life is wonderful!"

Therapist's note

Please Note: BLAST Sessions for trauma healing are not covered by insurance and my rate is $250/session. This is a reduced rate for my new clients. BLAST and ADVANCED BLAST Techniques are powerful tools (closely resembling EMDR) that treat PTSD and trauma quickly using the power of your subconscious mind, reducing the need for expensive ongoing therapy. I call it the ONE AND DONE Therapy!!!
