I am an EMDR Trauma and Flash Technique Therapist who believes in creating a collaborative space for healing, exploration, and confronting the obstacles that block your path to peace, creativity and joy. Many people know their life story yet become disillusioned when the change they seek is not manifesting in their lives. EMDR and Flash takes a unique approach utilizing the somatic experience for a total body, mind and soul/spirit connection and healing. Are you ready to explore what is keeping you from your life purpose? Let's talk!
Big "T" or small "t" we have all experienced various forms of Trauma that inform how we see ourselves in the world and in relationship to others. I work with individuals, couples, those diagnosed with Alzheimer's/Parkinsons's/Dementia and their Caregivers. I also passionately advocate for LGBTQIA community and all vulnerable clients
I am passionate about working with Caregivers and those diagnosed with Dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. I truly believe in exploring feelings of isolation, abandonment, and creating a supportive environment that fosters self care for mental well being is the goal in maintaining a healthy life balance for caregivers and their loved one.

Groups
Alzheimer's & Parkinson's Caregiver Support Group
There are many ways to be a caregiver, regrettably most ways result in physical and emotional exhaustion. For professional, family members or dear friends, the world of a caregiver can be a lonely and isolated place, driven by an outpouring of your skills, attention and strength, with very limited reciprocation. Within this collaborative interaction, group members increase awareness about self-compassion and learn mindfulness based self-care strategies that reinforce your fortitude to provide loving care for another. Allow yourself a bit of care. Invest in growing your capacity for restorative practices that allow you to be the best caregiver you can be.
