The Rise and Bloom Difference.

I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals, couples, and families can explore their deepest wounds, uncover their true potential, and begin to heal. My mission is simple yet powerful: to help you rise from the ashes of your past and bloom into your most authentic, empowered self. Through integrative therapy, coaching, EMDR, and holistic healing practices, I am here to guide you toward lasting transformation.

Healing is a deeply personal process, and no two journeys are alike. That’s why I take a personalized, trauma-informed approach in everything I do. I believe in:

• The power of connection: Healing is not done in isolation. Whether it’s through individual therapy, group work, or coaching, creating authentic connections is a key part of the healing process.

• The mind-body connection: True healing involves more than just mental or emotional work. Our bodies hold onto trauma, and healing occurs when we address both the mind and the body. I use somatic and mindfulness practices to help you connect with your body, release emotional blocks, and bring balance to your whole self.

• Self-compassion: One of the most transformative tools in the healing process is learning to be kind and compassionate with yourself. Self-compassion allows us to break free from self-criticism and embrace our imperfections.

• The importance of empowerment: My approach is about giving you the tools to take control of your own healing. I want you to feel empowered in your life, relationships, and choices. Through education, actionable steps, and support, I work to help you reclaim your inner strength.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to create a unique approach tailored to your specific needs. My goal is to help you move through your struggles in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you. Some of the methods I use include:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This proven method is incredibly effective for treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other deeply-held emotional wounds. It helps to reprocess and release trauma by using bilateral stimulation to “unlock” traumatic memories and emotions, allowing you to move forward in your life.

​

• Somatic Therapy: Trauma is stored in the body, and somatic therapy is designed to release this held energy. Through breathwork, body scans, and other somatic techniques, we work together to reconnect your mind and body, fostering healing on a deep, physiological level.

​

• Mindfulness and Meditation: Mindfulness is an invaluable tool in managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. It helps you to stay grounded in the present moment, providing clarity and calm amidst the chaos. I incorporate mindfulness practices into our work together to help you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.

​

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we’ll work on reframing unhelpful thoughts and building healthier, more productive ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges.

​

• Solution-Focused Therapy: This goal-oriented approach focuses on what’s working in your life and helps you create actionable steps to move forward. By identifying your strengths and envisioning solutions, we’ll work toward achieving your goals practically and efficiently.

​

• Motivational Interviewing: If you’re feeling stuck or ambivalent about change, motivational interviewing can help you clarify your values, build confidence, and strengthen your motivation to take the next steps in your journey.

​

• Yoga for Healing: As a yoga teacher trainee, I understand the powerful impact of yoga on healing. In therapy, we integrate yoga practices that focus on the breath, body awareness, and emotional release. These practices help to build resilience, foster emotional balance, and create a stronger mind-body connection.

​

• Holistic Healing Practices: I approach therapy from a place of holistic healing, which means considering all aspects of a person’s well-being—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. In our work together, we will integrate practices that foster a balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life.

The ultimate goal of therapy is not just to heal past wounds, but to create a life that feels fulfilling, authentic, and empowered. Through our work together, you will:

• Heal from past trauma and emotional wounds

• Build a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs

• Strengthen your sense of self-worth and confidence

• Develop healthier relationships with yourself and others

• Gain practical tools and coping skills to navigate life’s challenges

• Cultivate resilience, inner peace, and a sense of purpose

I believe that therapy is not just about “getting through” difficult moments—it’s about thriving in the present and creating a future that aligns with your true desires and values.
