Connecting with Your Authentic Self for Emotional Well-Being

Welcome to My Online Counseling Practice

​​​​​

Working with deeper emotional patterns, intuition, and inner wisdom

A Way of Working That Goes Beyond Words

There are times when talking things through helps — and times when words alone don’t quite reach what’s going on inside. You may understand your story, recognize patterns, and still feel emotions or reactions that live deeper than insight can touch.

Our sessions combine thoughtful conversation with experiential approaches that help you connect with your inner world in a more direct, embodied way. We pay attention to emotion, sensation, imagery, and inner responses, allowing experiences held beneath awareness to surface and shift.

Alongside reflection and insight, this work may include Brainspotting, parts-based exploration, guided meditation or hypnotherapy, expressive arts, and therapeutic writing. These approaches support healing, clarity, and self-understanding by engaging more than the thinking mind alone.

Spirituality and intuition are welcomed here in a grounded, inclusive way — guided by what feels meaningful and true for you. The focus stays on helping you relate to yourself with more awareness, compassion, and choice, so change feels lived rather than conceptual.

 

​​
​​​Areas of Focus

I commonly support individuals with:

  • Stress and emotional overload

  • Professional self-growth/burnout prevention 

  • Anxiety and ongoing inner tension

  • Aging, menopause, and midlife changes

  • Relationship patterns and family of origin concerns 

  • Deeper self-understanding and personal development

  • Self-criticism, perfectionism, or people-pleasing

  • Grief and healing

  • Integrating spirituality in an inclusive way for those exploring meaning, inner wisdom, and a deeper understanding of self

 

This work supports both emotional stability and a more compassionate, informed relationship with yourself.

Learning and Reflection, Held Together

Sometimes what you already know — about your reactions, patterns, or emotional history — feels true and clear. Insight matters because it helps you make sense of what you live through.

At the same time, there’s a layer of experience that insight alone doesn’t reach — the part that’s felt in your body, in your breath, in the patterns that show up again and again before you even think about them.

In our time together, we support both. You’ll learn more about what’s actually happening inside you, and you’ll notice how that understanding feels in your lived experience—emotionally, physically, and intuitively. This helps awareness become something you can use, not just understand.

This balance of reflection and experience helps understanding settle more deeply, rather than staying only in your head.

 
This Work Often Resonates With People Who…

You probably already see yourself in more than one of these:

  • You’re sensitive and intuitive, and at the same time, you are easily overwhelmed.

  • You look calm on the outside but feel like you’re holding a lot inside.

  • You’re curious about meaning, purpose, or inner guidance.

  • You express yourself creatively—through writing, art, or reflection.

  • You want to explore recurring patterns without judgment.

  • This isn’t about “fixing” parts of you—as a perfectionist part, inner critic, and wounded parts—it’s about changing the relationship you have with yourself

  • You may want to explore your relationships with other people in your life

 
Ways We Work Together

Rather than relying on a single approach, sessions draw on several experiential and reflective practices, based on what feels most supportive for you. I often receive emails asking, "I'm looking for a Woo-Hoo therapist. Is that you?" People are seeking a therapist who is open to their worldview, and my response is, "Indeed, I am!" If this aligns with your belief system, I integrate it with enriching and powerful psychotherapy theories to ensure high-quality, ethical care.  

  • Guided inner work//meditation/hypnotherapy: helping you connect with yourself in ways words alone don’t reach

  • Brainspotting for accessing experiences and emotions that sit below conscious thought

  • Parts awareness so inner responses feel less confusing and more compassionate.

  • Creative and expressive practices Journaling, imagery, and SoulCollage® offer ways to express and understand experiences that are difficult to put into words.

  • Mind–body awareness: Learning to listen to the body’s signals as a source of clarity, regulation, and balance.

 

These approaches are woven together thoughtfully, always guided by what feels most helpful and relevant in the moment.

Now Offering Brainspotting

Brainspotting.

Brainspotting is a focused, body-based therapy that works with the natural connection between where you look, how your nervous system responds, and what your body holds. By using specific eye positions—called brainspots—along with mindful awareness and gentle bilateral sound, this approach helps access areas of the brain where emotional and physical stress have been stored.

In a session, we slow things down and let your system lead. Together, we notice subtle cues in your body and nervous system, allowing experiences that feel stuck or unresolved to move and reorganize at a pace that feels right for you.

Brainspotting may involve:

  • Scanning your visual field to locate a meaningful eye position connected to your experience

  • Holding that eye position while staying present with body sensations

  • Noticing emotions, memories, images, or shifts in perspective as they arise

  • Allowing the nervous system to process and settle in its own way

 

Sessions are tailored to each person. There are different ways Brainspotting can be used, depending on what you’re working with and how your system responds. The focus stays on creating safety, clarity, and space for your mind and body to do what they naturally know how to do—move toward balance and relief.
