Therapy
I am a provisionally licensed marriage and family therapist with a special interest in supporting couples and individuals through life transitions, particularly the transition to parenthood. I have completed The Gottman Institute's Level II training for couples therapy and I am a certified Bringing Baby Home educator (see workshops).
I prefer a transpersonal and holistic approach to therapy, as I believe balance in the mind, body, and spirit are necessary to experience a full and healthy life. Part of the work we do together will include addressing areas of physical health, nutrition, and finding external support systems, including referrals to local providers as needed.
My office is located within Sikhona Holistic Therapy + Wellness where I work alongside other therapists, a reiki and hypnotherapy practitioner, a massage therapist, and a health coach.
Energy Psychology
I am a certified Emotion Code practitioner, and have also completed trainings in HBLU (Healing from the Body Level Up) and Emotional Freedom Technique. These modalities all stem from similar beliefs that the energy of our emotions, thoughts, and traumatic experiences get stuck in the body when not fully processed. The stuck, stagnant energy causes us to experience unpleasant symptoms in the mind, body, or spirit. During energy psychology sessions we will use muscle testing to identify what needs to be processed and released from the body for you to start feeling better.
*These services are considered alternative to mental health services, and I am not acting as a licensed therapist during these sessions, but rather a transpersonal coach.
Workshops
I have a passion for sharing knowledge with others, particularly when I believe it can help change their lives! The workshops I offer are based on the knowledge and experience I have gained through intuition, life experience, higher education, and various trainings. While a few options are currently in the works, at this time I am only offering one workshop on a regular basis. Please check in or add your e-mail to my mailing list to stay up to date on new opportunities!
Bringing Baby Home:
I have a special interest in helping individuals and couples through the transition to parenthood. As a certified Bringing Baby Home educator, I provide research-based psychoeducational workshops to partners who are looking to maintain or strengthen their relationship as they enter a new phase of life.
Did you know that within three years after the birth of a child, approximately 2/3 of parents will experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction? Research shows that the quality of the relationship between caregivers has a direct and profound impact on the development of infants and children. In this workshop, partners will learn how to communicate effectively, reduce relationship hostility, increase affection, and promote positive parent-baby interactions.
The Gottman Institute shows that partners who participated in this workshop experienced:
- significantly lower rate of postpartum mood disorders
- higher level of relationship satisfaction
- decrease in relationship hostility
- decreased likelihood of divorce
- positive results related to infant development and temperament, parent-baby interactions and father involvement.
Bringing Baby Home Workshops are held 9am-1pm for 3 consecutive Saturdays. Investment for this service is $300 per couple and includes digital course materials. This workshop can be attended in person or online. Only one partner is required to register.
