Together, we will nurture and monitor your growth towards sustainable and meaningful change within yourself and in your relationships.
Individual Therapy: minors/children, adults, and elderly of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, cultures, and beliefs systems. I welcome you as you are and meet you where you are at, so that you feel safe to be seen and heard as your authentic self. I am interested in your history, strengths, and how I can help you cope with life's challenges, and pursue your personal passions.
Couples Therapy: Relationships, pre-marital, marital, separation, divorce, un-coupling, and/or reconciliation processes. I'll help you both navigate your relationship's strengths and challenges, communicate effectively & honestly, learn tools for turning conflict into connection, and work towards what's in the best interest of your relationship and family, whether that's together, apart, or somewhere in between.
Family Therapy: Family dynamics are tough, but you are tougher. I aim for each member of the family to have a voice and choice, and be seen and heard with the mutual respect that each family member deserves. Whether you want your family to be on the same page about something or want to heal from past traumas to build a healthier relationship with each other in the present, I'll be your guide for more effective communication, increased understanding, and stronger connections.
Energy Healing (Reiki, Chakra alignment, Sound Healing, and more):
Reiki: Reiki stands for "Universal Life Force Energy" in Japanese. This energy promotes peace, calm, stress reduction, and brings alignment and balance to your mind, body, soul, and your chakras. Chakras are energy centers within the body that are each associated with specific physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your well-being. Reiki is gentle, relaxing, and grounding, and flows to where it is needed most. Reiki is often practiced as a laying of hands on or over the body, and can also be done virtually through the intention and energy of the practitioner. I perform Reiki on people, pets, and places.
Energy Clearing: Did you just move into your home or office, or your current space needs an energy revamp? I can pave the way for enhanced creativity, safety, and productivity by energy clearing your sacred space with Reiki. I combine use of a variety of tools including smudging (sage, sweet grass, palo santo), crystal healing, and sound healing, depending on your preferences and needs.
Sound Healing: Sound healing is both neurologically and psychologically...sound :-) Neurological studies have proven that listening to music makes us more creative, productive, and less stressed. The sound from various healing instruments during a session stimulates our brain wave frequencies and releases dopamine, which improves and regulates moods. Oxytocin is also released, which is a natural pain killer and hormone that fosters connection, bonding, and trust. I intuitively incorporate sound healing in my energy healing offerings and occasionally during talk therapy sessions, depending on your needs and preferences.
Intuitive Card Readings: Having trouble trusting or tapping into your intuition? Allow me to be your guide towards interpreting oracle or tarot cards pulled during our session. I am not a fortune teller. I do not perform witchcraft. I use the cards as a tool to help you increase awareness and clarity to what may be buried or suppressed within you. As you become more clear of your authentic truths, you can gain confidence towards making your internal desires a reality.
