About Joy Full Living Counseling

Therapy is a sacred journey that involves our body, soul, and spirit. It is an odyssey that is easier when traveled with someone who understands pain, difficulties, and the ability to overcome obstacles. I believe that exploring personal strengths, values, creativity, and core resiliency helps develop our capacity to create change. It is important to recognize that emotional patterns are hardwired in childhood as we observe our caretakers' reactions.  However, our brains maintain plasticity, providing opportunity for change, hope, and joy.

I have been a therapist for over 30 years and specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, couples, sexual abuse, PTSD, ADD, and addictions. Using a trauma-informed approach, I use treatments and interventions that aim to decrease anxiety and improve internal awareness. Employing attachment-based theory, I help clients develop internal tools of gratitude, curiosity, compassion, and connection. I work with patients 13 years and above.
