About Me
I am very spirited about my work with others. I believe that anyone has the capacity to heal. As a therapist I bring a unique view that you are in control of your healing and I am simply your guide. I have a daily spiritual practice that includes yoga, mindfulness and studying middle eastern religion. I weave this knowledge into my sessions with clients, along with a westernized approach of EMDR, an evidenced based treatment. Personal growth is one of my core values as I also continue to grow through my own healing journey. I have struggled with chronic pain for most of my life and am passionate about helping others find peace and contentment in their bodies. It is possible to live a joyful life and to experience regular contentment! As a consultant for other clinicians I am energetic in my encouragement as I believe that everyone has the opportunity to be successful in this career. I want to support other clinicians as a way to make a greater impact on our society. I strongly believe that you can be successful with clients and also in business!
