Therapist

Simplified, therapy is my thing.

Uncovering and exploring the root issue of why someone is presenting with specific symptoms (ex.hypervigilance, irritability, isolation, emotional detachment) is what I pour my expertise and soul into, but it’s also what is essential for healing.

I love to help people obtain a sense of understanding, security, wholeness, and balance—to uncover the parts of a person that have been sitting untouched since childhood, often impacting who they are today.

Most of those who come to me want to understand and make sense of why they think, feel, and behave a specific way—why they feel unbalanced, uncertainty, and stuck. They want to change. They want to heal. They want to put down the misplaced shame they carry and they want to surrender the history, the pain, the shame, and the guilt. They want to grasp transformation and a new found perspective.

It’s a great honor to facilitate healing. I want to help people find balance and to assist people in resolving the unresolved. For me, it’s more than being passionate. It’s a duty to help the collective. To be apart of something so meaningful and moving, to help guide healing in those that have experienced trauma, and to witness the softening and surrendering of years of destructive beliefs of self & others is unparalleled. I facilitate healing—that sought after peace of mind. It’s the holy grail.

To have the privilege to walk along side of those in their healing journey is gold. I built Hello Healed™ to represent just that. It’s more than therapy & wellness. It’s an opportunity unlike any other—it’s a catalyst for reform.

My Approach to Therapy—

I’m a licensed psychotherapist that is certified in neuropsychotherapy, clinical trauma and integrative mental health. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, attachment, and relationships affected by trauma and PTSD.

It is important that before you take the leap to begin therapy, you feel that I am the right fit. After all, you are planning to start to explore some of your deepest thoughts, emotions, and experiences to someone you just met. 

There is no one size fits all approach. Your experiences are individual to you. I spend a lot of time getting to know you and what your journey to therapy has looked like. We will explore childhood, past relationships, experiences, and emotional and physical symptoms that have impacted you.   

I take a culturally-informed, integrative approach to therapy, that is evidence-based and evidence-led—therapy that addresses the whole person and places the client at the center of their treatment plan vs. their diagnosis. Your treatment plan will be individualized. I systematically examine your biological, psychological, cultural, social factors and their complex interactions to identify what influences your mental health.

Without considering the whole person, you can’t completely understand its complexities and without considering the research and evidence we can’t treat them. A culturally-informed and integrative approach that is evidence-based and evidence-led enhances treatment effectiveness.

In therapy, I tend to explore the past to gain insight into who you are currently. When I begin to identify common themes that have impacted a client’s sense of safety, trust, security, and overall well-being, I guide my clients in healing the very reason those themes exist. The goal is to get you to a place where you no longer feel internal conflict, and instead you feel total alignment mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. 

I have thoughtfully designed Hello Healed ® to reflect the definition of humanity— the collectiveness of humankind and living amongst and connecting with others empathetically and with compassion. 

Yes, I have the credentials and expertise—but most importantly I want my clients to know that while I’m an expert in mental health and I apply evidence based practices within therapy, there is no greater technique or practice than humanity. Hello Healed™ is founded upon it.
