It is my goal to create a safe and comforting space where your healing process can unfold.  I view my role as a witness and facilitator towards achieving your goals, whatever they may be…growth, change, healing…
For some, the quest is to find balance and wellness, changing the limiting patterns that block you from reaching your full potential. For others, the search is to experience healing from deep wounds and pain caused by trauma or loss.

I believe that healing comes from within and my approach is holistic, which may involve exploring your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I fully believe in the unity of the mind, body and spirit and feel that our bodies communicate to us.  I once read “Trust the wisdom of your body, as it often reflects the wisdom of your spirit.”  I hope to encourage you to follow your own intuition and to trust  your wisdom.

I use expressive therapy approaches including play therapy, sandtray therapy and art therapy, especially when working with children. Sandtray therapy is a powerful tool at tapping into the unconscious.  Often times, children don’t have the verbal skills or words to express themselves.  Play therapy toys and little figurines are the words to a child, projecting their inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences into their play or the sandtray world they create. I am very passionate about this work and have observed firsthand amazing transformations.

 

In addition to a variety of therapy modalities, I also integrate spirituality and energy healing into my practice if you choose to explore this area. I have been blessed to work with several gifted teachers and healers for the past 3 years who have helped me discover my own clairvoyant gifts.  Most of my spiritual training is from a Curandero.  Curanderismo blends the healing elements of the Saints, African Powers and Native American Earth-Based Medicine.

I am committed to your individuality and will work with you to determine the best possible treatment method, intervention or approach to address your therapeutic needs.  My intention is to be a witness to your process and a mirror to your experience. I look forward to meeting you and am truly honored to be a part of your healing journey of the heart.
