Our services
Therapy
Our practice takes a compassionate approach by focusing on evidence-based therapies, which are methods supported by scientific research. We are committed to providing you with the best possible treatment options tailored to your unique goals. Together, we'll work as partners in your journey, and we'll be here to support you every step of the way. Your dedication is important to us, and we will do our utmost to help you achieve your aspirations.
Nutrition and wellness therapy sessions are offered separate to traditional therapy sessions. These sessions will focus more on current physical health through diet and lifestyle changes. We will also focus on the relationship with body and nutrition and its effects on mental health.
Resources
Recognizing that all bodily systems are interconnected, whole person care promotes health throughout your entire being. Outside of sessions, resources are available for purchase to learn at your own pace. Reflection journals and masterclass videos consider a wide range of factors that impact your well-being—everything from your biological makeup to lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and sleep, as well as environmental influences like your living conditions and economic status.
Supplements
Nutrients are the vital compounds your body needs to thrive and stay healthy. Ideally, a balanced diet will provide you with all the essential nutrients your body craves. Sometimes, though, we might need a little extra support. That's where health supplements can come in, offering additional nutrients when necessary. There are also wonderful medicinal herbs, which are plants used for their healing properties. Different parts of these plants—like the bark, leaves, and seeds—can be used in supplements to help support your well-being. Remember, nourishing your body is a journey, and we’re here to help you along the way.
Brain Health
IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) is a leading treatment approach to "reboot" the brain and recalibrate the nervous system, moving you out of the stress response.

“The body has an innate capacity for healing, and the best medicine is that which supports and enhances that capacity.”
— Dr. Andrew Weil
Our approach
Behavior Therapy
This approach focuses on transforming external behaviors by encouraging engagement in positive activities. It’s rooted in the understanding that all behaviors are learned and can be changed. Behavior therapy is action-oriented and emphasizes the present moment, allowing you to take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we can work on creating positive changes that resonate with you.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy holds the belief that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected and influence the other negatively or positively. In this talk therapy space, we aim to reframe unhelpful and stuck thoughts to positively impact emotions and therefore behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
This is a preferred therapy modality that is widely successful in healing from prior traumas that have changed the way we see ourselves and the world. This modality is best for women who have lingering unwanted effects from the things that have happened to them in their present lives. We do not start here in our time together, but we can make this decision in our collaborative journey. Please see the video below that summarizes this treatment.
Trauma-Focused
Trauma-focused therapy is lovingly tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Our goal is to empower you, helping you regain a sense of control and rekindle hope for the future. As a trauma-focused therapist, we see through the lens of trauma, understanding its impact on a person’s view of themselves and the world. Trauma therapy is a collaborative choice between the client and therapist.
Person-Centered
The person-centered approach is deeply rooted in compassion and respect, fostering a nurturing environment that supports your healing and personal growth. If you’re looking for a safe space where you can be your authentic self and explore your inner world, this approach could be a comforting and supportive choice for you. You deserve to be heard and understood on your journey.
