Although I specialize in therapy for adults suffering from past traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, and low self-worth, I have extensive experience treating a wide array of populations and issues.

​My clients benefit from my services for diverse problems, including depression and anxiety, PTSD, medical issues, relational issues, and separation/divorce. I draw from a variety of disciplines and modalities, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, Mind-Body Bridging, family and group therapy, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for couples. Additionally, I utilize attachment and mentalization-based psychodynamic psychotherapy to create an empathic environment where individuals can safely explore and address longstanding difficulties.

My specific approach is forward-looking, focusing on your goals and desires rather than dwelling on past issues and hurdles. This approach can be particularly helpful for couples, allowing you to build a brighter future together.

Some people may experience a traumatic event that impacts them long after the event occurs. This may include directly experiencing the trauma, witnessing it, or even hearing about the trauma of others. Traumatic events can be single occurrences or involve repeated exposure. Symptoms of a traumatic response can vary in type and duration. Approximately 1 in every 3 individuals who experience trauma develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of PTSD can include intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks, as well as avoidance of situations or thoughts that remind them of the trauma. Additionally, some individuals may experience self-blame, distrust of others, and persistent changes in mood, such as sadness, fear, or guilt. Trauma survivors may also be easily startled, irritable, impulsive, and have difficulty concentrating or sleeping.

Treatments for PTSD include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for children and adolescents, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy for adults. I am trained in trauma therapy and utilize these treatments to help individuals confront and overcome their fears in response to traumatic events.

Mandala Healing Journeys offers transformative therapeutic practices that integrate the art of mandala creation with holistic healing approaches to foster personal growth and emotional well-being.

It has plenty of natural sunlight and is available for use to our community partners.

Feedback Informed Treatment

Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT) is an evidence-based approach we at Mandala Healing Journeys use to ensure therapy is effective, collaborative, and centered on each client’s unique experience. FIT is built on the belief that therapy works best when clients and therapists work together through open, ongoing communication about what is helpful and what could be improved.

Rather than waiting until the end of therapy to measure progress, we check in regularly throughout the process. Using two brief tools—the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and the Session Rating Scale (SRS)—we invite clients to share their feedback at each session. The ORS helps us understand how clients are feeling and whether they’re noticing positive changes in their overall well-being. The SRS focuses on how the session itself went, including whether clients feel understood, respected, and supported.
