• I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, and families who want to learn how to manage their anxiety and let go of the lodged physical memory of trauma and experiences, both cognitively and somatically. Our body hears what our mind says and I spend time teaching clients about psychosomatic stress that starts with thoughts that manifest in the body. You will learn if your mistaken beliefs and cognitive distortions are keeping you stuck.  Then, we will work on getting you unstuck with self-compassion.  By learning to accept and validate your thoughts and feelings you can discover ways to let go of what’s not helping you.  The sessions are very experiential as: 
• I bring my teachings from workshops at a local university to help empower clients to incorporate skills and a healthier perception into their lives. You can learn to become more mindfully present and aware of triggered feelings and what to do about them by learning how to mindfully meditate, practice EFT/Tapping technique, visualization exercises, and more.  By cognitively learning to become the source of your positive beliefs about yourself can help your feelings and actions too.  Becoming mind/body integrated will uplift your whole-self. 
• We practice techniques to create your Daily Empowerment "Resiliency Routine"© ​& "Strength Kit,"© to practice what you've learned.  You can Holistically integrate ways to reduce stress, create a stronger sense of self and purpose, and learn how to communicate in ways to mindfully connect to others and the bigger picture. 
• Since the #1 reason people see doctors is stress related, clients also appreciate learning how to be proactive so their emotional stress doesn’t become physical issues.  I have been getting referrals from psychiatrists to help their patients who don’t seem to respond well to psychotropic meds or want to learn effective tools they can use daily to help. 

Holistic Philosophy to help Authentically U! connect to the bigger picture:

to THRIVE."

"I've seen Holistic Mind/Body techniques I teach my clients to cope and cleanse toxic thoughts and feelings, which have been absorbed by the body, pulled out by their roots to activate ongoing healing. 
This helps to create a healthy mind/body integration and wholeness when one's feelings of their past don't carry the same intensity and triggers that may have caused "dis-ease," addictions, anxiety, phobias, stress, and illness."

In your therapy you will learn what psychosomatic stress is, the red flags of it, how it's affected you, and ways to cope with it. You will practice easy and effective ways to empower yourself daily to become more resilient and to strengthen your emotional and physical wellness.  

Helpful techniques, Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) & Breath-Work helps with:

• Have you ever wondered if therapy and deep breathing could help you become unstuck, let go of suppressed feelings, able to move on and to become free of the tightness in your head, throat, or stomach that you may feel when you are stressed?
• The Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), one technique that I teach clients works well for stuck emotions from grief, need for control, bullying, insecurities, anger issues, and wanting to move on. Any emotions that are deeply rooted from one’s childhood, of how one felt they were treated that is keeping them from moving forward, can be released. It even helps with emotions or experiences from one’s ancestors that people have taken on that they want to let go of.  
• Some see me because their stuck feelings and energy has lead to having very uncomfortable thougths, feelings, and behaviors. Such as, experiencing panic attacks, phobias, sleep issues, addictions, anxieties, or reoccurring relationship issues that AIT greatly helps with.  An issue only has to be worked on once to let go of it's intensity and to unblock the energy center associated with it.  
• AIT works by first cleansing the energy center associated with the issue causing the symptoms. Then, with this breakthrough therapy new core beliefs that affect the mind-body connection can be instilled, resulting in a shift that opens positive energy for holistic wellness, insight, and ongoing growth.

This published article explains the benefits and process of learning and using AIT to shift one's perception and energy concerning mind/body connections to be more positive. Positive and negative experiences, thoughts, and feelings you have taken on can become lodged inside of us.  The negative Issues and energy concerning events, experiences, traumas, and triggers can be shifted through our energy centers, Chakras, to encourage healing.  This is important since stuck energy, stress, and triggers can cause anxiety, addictions, increased emotional or physical illnesses, phobias, panic attacks, and other stress related disorders.  Using AIT can help one pull the negative feelings out by their roots to help one become unstuck and able to move on in a healthier way.  Please see the letter testimonials clients and therapists have written about their experiences, and continued energy shifting, with learning this very effective technique that somatically helps transform lives and relationships.
