INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES THERAPY

As a licensed psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, I aim to establish a secure, confidential, and nurturing space where individuals can freely explore and process their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Embracing a person-centered approach, I acknowledge that each client is the authority in their own life. I strive to collaborate with them to achieve their objectives and foster a deeper understanding and tranquility.
My therapeutic approach is unique, blending a holistic, relational, and strengths-based perspective. I incorporate a wide range of modalities, including mindfulness, humanistic techniques, and specialized training in Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), EMDR, Breathwork, Parts Therapy, and Memory Therapy. This comprehensive approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of an individual's mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational well-being, aiming to address their unique needs.
Within the realm of therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a valuable tool for exploring the intricate relationship between language, behavior, and thoughts. By assisting clients in identifying and modifying limiting beliefs, ideas, and behaviors, NLP empowers individuals to enact positive change. Another technique I employ, Parts Therapy (also known as Inner Child Therapy), involves accessing and resolving unresolved emotional conflicts and past traumas by recognizing and reconciling internal struggles among different aspects of oneself.
During therapy sessions, I seamlessly integrate these methodologies to provide a well-rounded and pragmatic approach that supports clients' goals and enhances their overall well-being. With expertise in treating various concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relational health, female medical conditions, other medical problems, and PTSD, I firmly believe that each person possesses the inherent capacity for healing and personal growth.
Moreover, I specialize in assisting couples to improve their relationships by fostering effective communication, resolving conflicts, and establishing deeper connections. I aim to guide clients in cultivating self-appreciation, courage, and trust, enabling them to live a life that aligns with their core values. By nurturing their innate wisdom and strengths while regulating their nervous system, I strive to help individuals rediscover their inner spark and reclaim a sense of vitality.
In my approach to couples therapy, I prioritize creating a safe and empathetic environment for both partners, fostering open communication and trust. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness-based techniques, I guide couples in exploring their cognitive and emotional dynamics. By challenging negative thought patterns and reframing beliefs, addressing underlying emotions and attachment needs (EFT), and cultivating mindfulness and self-awareness, couples can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and each other. Through collaborative problem-solving and homework assignments, they learn practical communication skills, conflict resolution, and how to apply therapeutic insights to their daily lives. This integrative approach strengthens emotional connections, enhances mutual understanding, and fosters a resilient and fulfilling relationship.

HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy is a versatile and powerful therapeutic approach that can address a wide range of psychological and physical issues. It is particularly effective in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, phobias, sleep disorders, trauma, and the effects of sexual abuse. Additionally, hypnotherapy is often used in pain management, weight loss, and even to help break problematic habits.

 

The process works by tapping into the unconscious mind, where deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors reside. In a state of heightened suggestibility, which hypnotherapy induces, individuals can access these underlying patterns and reshape them, promoting positive change and healthier habits. This makes hypnotherapy valuable for increasing self-esteem, boosting confidence, and improving overall well-being.

 

Beyond psychological concerns, hypnotherapy has also been shown to effectively manage physical symptoms, such as chronic pain and digestive disorders. It can improve sleep quality, address learning and communication challenges, and even enhance personal relationships by helping individuals overcome barriers to connection and understanding.

 

Hypnotherapy is widely regarded as a powerful method for personal growth and transformation. As a non-invasive and safe treatment option, it is widely regarded as a powerful method for facilitating positive change. However, its success largely depends on choosing a qualified and experienced therapist who is well-trained in hypnotherapy and understands the specific issues you wish to address. Open and honest communication with your therapist about your goals, concerns, and progress is crucial. This collaboration ensures that the therapy is tailored to your unique needs, maximizing its effectiveness in facilitating positive change.

REIKI

When we experience trauma, it is stored not only in our minds but also in our bodies. Reiki stimulates energy to move in the body. You already have energy in the body, but it may be blocked and not flowing smoothly. During or after a treatment, you may feel the effects of energy being unblocked. It raises awareness in and around the physical body, where negative thoughts and feelings are contained, and charges them with positive energy.

Reiki offers a multitude of benefits, all aimed at promoting harmony and balance. It fosters a deep sense of relaxation, dissolves energy blocks, and creates a harmonious balance between the mind, body, and spirit. This balance can help you sleep better, accelerate your self-healing ability, relieve pain, and provide a sense of grounding, making you feel centered and in control.

Currently, I am only offering distant Reiki sessions.
