"Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom." Baháʼu'lláh Life is a mysterious journey of experiences and learning. I got lost, distracted, and swayed on this path until I learned where to find my sacred place. In the ebbs and flows of life, I have discovered that I have an incredible gift for motivating, encouraging, and coaching others. My purpose is to help others make their life sacred by holding it as a masterpiece. I empower clients through education as well as introspection. My approach is holistic and integrative. I use multiple evidenced based practices like CBT, DBT, ACT, SF, and MI. I incorporate mindfulness, chi-gong, and bodywork techniques to release past traumas and make room for growth. I've worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults from all backgrounds. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, and adjustment disorder. I enjoy various activities during my downtime, like meditation, chi-gong, running, strength training, singing, dancing, painting, and cooking. Open to working with adolescents ages 15 and older.
