Say goodbye to traditional therapy mindsets and hello to a brand new, rejuvenated you. Interested? Thought so. Let’s chat. I am passionate about helping women and men regain their power and lifestyle after stressful life events, difficult break ups, tumultuous relationships, messy divorce, and abusive partnerships. My goal is to help all my clients holistically from the inside out to feel powerful, attractive, independent and balanced. I have my master's in Psychotherapy/Marriage and Family Therapy with a certification in Neuropsychotherapy and specialize in relationship and dating consulting, emotional healing, understanding narcissist personalities, reframing, wardrobe and beauty consulting, and general guidance. My knowledge comes from my education and academic training as well as professional and many personal experiences. I am certified and trained by the Gottman Institute in treating affairs and trauma and I am super passionate about this type of work. If you experienced this type of betrayal, I can and will help you- I get it. In addition, I am trained as a Past Life Regression Therapist. What is that you ask? Well, ever wonder why you love some things (or people!) and dislike others? Or why you keep having that reoccurring dream? Yep- I can help you with that! This eclectic combination of education, experiences, skills and training has served me with resources and advice that I know can and will help my clients flourish, love and be loved again. I specialize in treating affairs and trauma. Finding out your spouse or partner has been unfaithful can be one of the most devastating and life altering experience one can have in life. Healing from this whether you choose to stay together or not is a long, exhausting, and painful process. A process in which I not only understand professionally but personally, as well. I can help…. Whether you stay or leave. As we all know relationships are complicated. Working with couples is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work. Helping my clients modify destructive and unhealthy patterns, deescalating toxicity and recommending healthy communication efforts are just a few elements of coaching couples. Depending on each of my client’s goals, I help build healthy and fulfilling relationships or help my clients de-couple in the most peaceful way possible. In addition, I am certified in treating affairs and trauma by the Gottman Institute and work with couples who have been affected by infidelity and betrayal. This is something I am profoundly passionate about and a large part of the work I do. I have a very direct approach to coaching which is why I don’t practice traditional therapy. I do point out destructive behaviors and toxic patterns in a very gentle and respectful way. I never take sides but am upfront with my feedback. One of the biggest enjoyments I have with my work is helping men and women navigate the dating world. I create effective and authentic dating profiles, advise on proper and appropriate communication with a romantic interest and train men and women of all ages on respectable, dating etiquette. So if dating is frustrating to you or you’re gaining little to no traction, I can help! Many clients (men and women) come to me feeling lost or “stuck” in life specifically with their career. I curate each strategy and process for each client to find a path they are passionate about- as one size does not fit all. I identify each client’s strengths and weaknesses, dig deep into the mental blocks that may be preventing one from moving forward, I help network my clients, teach tools and tricks to apply for jobs, aid in resume writing, interview preparation and how to effectively sell your skills and personality to land a fulfilling and sustainable career that you are passionate about.
