I'm going to be straight with you. When I was graduating from my Master's program in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University, I never DREAMED I would FAIL my first attempt at the licensing exam. ESPECIALLY after JUST PASSING it in order to GRADUATE! I ran so far away to a land that would allow me to practice while I sought supervision and take a different form of the exam that was geared towards those that were more HANDS ON! And guess what? I PASSED! Why do I share this? Because! As a therapist, I know that we all have failed at many points in our lives! I want my clients to know, that I am just as human as they may be. It’s not that I feel you need to know this to change, I need you to know that you are safe here! I am a passionate therapist, shaman, psychic medium, and energy healer that truly believes in assisting my client's in developing FULL BODY healing, through the mind, body, AND spirit! I am a Certified Spiritual Coach and currently working on regaining my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, along with MANY other certificates. Please let me know if you'd like more information on any of my trainings. With that being said, because I provide a VERY holistic/energy based approach and I do go over our session times. This means that I provide my client's with the MOST authentic guidance I can give. This includes integrative modalities, such as energy healing, sound healing, and vocal frequencies. Schedule: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
