An education, certification, and the proper accreditation are crucial. But before I dive into all the details, I want to share more about my love of learning.

I will always consider myself a perpetual student. Yes, I have a PhD (and that’s something I’m proud of, of course), but here’s where I’m not-so-typical in my approach as a psychologist. I also have tons of tools to share with you including EMDR, Imago Relationship Therapy, Encounter Centered Couples Therapy, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Auric and Kabbalistic healing, and practices from mindfulness, Buddhism, Soulcraft, and Pathwork.
