After leaving a career in the restaurant industry to raise my children, I focused on my own healing from sexual trauma through talk therapy. With little change I found a path of holistic growth through Reiki, somatic work, and guided imagery. I am proud of the work I have done for 25 years and now my life’s work is helping others move through their healing process and enrich their lives. I am a trauma-informed relational practitioner, specializing in collaborating with clients who want to learn more about themselves and move through the trauma in their lives. I am interested in helping people who are experiencing a somatic reaction from shock/developmental trauma, physical injuries, chronic pain/illness, relationship challenges, & acute ailments that affect the body and cause mind/body disconnection. While working with clients I customize sessions to meet them where they are in their journey toward growth & healing. Using a collaborative style I incorporate Reiki, EFT (Emotionally Focused Technique), Breath Work, Transformative Insight Imagery, NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) ~a therapy model based on the book Healing Developmental Trauma, by Lawrence Heller. I am a Reiki Master, a Transformative Insight Imagery facilitator, a NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) professional, an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) facilitator, and a Gottman Seven Principles Leader.
