Message to clients

I work with women who are struggling with anxiety, fear, stress, abuse, or trauma. Women who feel stuck in life, who have lost their focus and vision, and who want to create a life worth living.

I am a unique therapist in that I have been traditionally trained in psychotherapy, but I have also been trained in holistic energy-based treatments and spiritual interventions. I provide individualized therapy based on the unique needs of each woman I see. I don’t just give you coping skills or put you on medications. I help you find healing and wholeness.

Today is the day to begin your healing journey. Call now to book your free 15-minute consultation or to book your first appointment. I look forward to working with you.
