I believe in building a relationship of trust and support. You are not a problem to be fixed but a person to be empowered.

I utilize an assertive communication style to promote confidence and self-awareness. I utilize "I" statements to show clients respect and not violate their rights. Additionally, showing clients respect and listening attentively to their needs is how I build a good rapport with them.

I believe in meeting each client where they are. There is not one way to help someone resolve a problem in their life. I believe in helping my clients find the right path that works for them and following along beside them to provide wisdom in their lives to take the next steps and make better choices. A mental health professional should go above and beyond for their clients and I believe in this whole heartedly. My motto is "get me in your life and out of your life quickly so that you can live happy!"

Entering therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating. Whether it is your first time or 100th time, reflecting on painful experiences, facing your struggles, and sharing your life story with someone else is extremely difficult. I strive to provide a safe, collaborative, judgment-free environment for individuals to gain support in navigating life's ups and downs. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard, validated, and reminded of their strengths, so that they feel empowered to achieve their personal goals. I have been a therapist in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have extensive experience in the treatment of anxiety conditions, mood conditions, trauma-related challenges, personality conditions, and parent-child relational problems. I describe my therapy style as client-centered, strengths-based, and integrative, with a trauma-informed approach. I incorporate many different therapy techniques and evidence-based treatment modalities, with an emphasis on meeting you where you are, and moving along at your pace. I am currently accepting new clients and offering telehealth sessions for individuals 18 years and up. I look forward to meeting you!

A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself. -Maryam Hasana Welcome to Authentic Healing Health and Wellness Center!

One of my favorite quotes is: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." To me, life is a journey. There will be many bumps, bruises, and obstacles along the way. That's okay. It's how you overcome those hurdles that count. Some need more assistance than others on this journey, and that's okay too. My approach is to promote healing and personal growth and development along this journey called life. I do not claim to have all of the answers. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives. My role is to assist you with getting out of your own way and discovering the path that you want to follow.

There are times in all of our lives where we find ourselves at a crossroads. Do I continue on the path I am on, or is it time to pause, dig in, and face my fear, addiction, compulsion, hesitancy, anger, patterns, issues, struggles, etc.? This can be a very frightening crossroads, and having the courage to face ourselves, our past and what may be before us can be very fleeting. I meet people at this crossroads, and together we "dig in", and begin to explore what needs exploring, mend what needs mending, fight what needs fighting and forgive what needs forgiving. As they say in AA, I believe we are spiritual beings in physical world and as a Pastoral Counselor I am able and willing to explore how these two realities are integrated in our lives. Please feel free to give me a call with any of your questions or concerns.
