 Summary/services offered:
I help women and young adults learn to manage stress and anxiety. Calming the energy centers and relaxing/regulating the mind and body is essential. I provide clients with a set of easy, actionable and empowering tools to help them understand their strengths, uncover emotional triggers and reach their highest potential. 

What drew you to this profession?
My personal journey inspired me at an early age to be a seeker and gain greater self-awareness. Recent world events and additional Energy Psychology research has fortified my belief in our ability to heal ourselves. Stress and anxiety are at an all-time high. I teach effective techniques that can help others help themselves. After earning an MS in Counseling, I became a certified EFT Practitioner in order to share this easy to learn, highly effective, self-care method with as many people as possible. 

How does your work differ from others in your profession?
I incorporate EFT/Tapping, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Energy Psychology and other modalities to help guide my clients. I incorporate practical tools such as the Clifton Strengths Finder, MBTI® Values Assessment, Mindfulness and other gratitude practices to help individuals better understand themselves and develop a personal toolkit to manage stress and anxiety to deal with the ups and downs of daily life. 

What changes do you plan in 2021?
I have partnered with Sedona Art to incorporate the expressive arts into my program of self-care and self-discovery. The healing power of creativity is well known. These art and journaling practices deepen emotional awareness and support the process of emotional healing. My vision is to work more with children and young adults, to help them grow and build their social emotional skills.

What is most important for Natural Awakenings’ readers to know?
I believe that every minute of every day offers us choices. How we use our power to choose sets the course for our lives. I want to help you find your power. See ads, pages 3 and 18.
