“A Loving Heart Is the Truest Wisdom”
— Charles Dickens
At Heart Wisdom Healing, I believe true healing is not found in the mind alone. It begins by gently reconnecting with the wisdom, intuition, and love held within your heart.
Holistic Trauma Therapist & EMDR Specialist in Glendale, AZ
You may have spent years trying to understand yourself, change your patterns, or move forward, and yet still feel like something deeper is keeping you stuck. Past experiences can continue to shape how you feel, think, relate, and experience your life long after the original experiences are over. You don't have to keep carrying them alone.
At Heart Wisdom Healing, I provide compassionate, holistic trauma therapy for adults struggling with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, unhealthy relationship patterns, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences. Using EMDR, somatic approaches, nervous system regulation, and other integrative mind-body practices, we work together to address not only the symptoms you're experiencing, but the deeper patterns underneath them.
YOUR HEALING JOURNEY CAN BEGIN HERE.
My aim is to help you resolve what is keeping you stuck, increase your quality of life, and recover a sense of wholeness.
With your willingness and desire for change, combined with my compassion, knowledge, and experience, I can serve as a light and a guide in the process toward deeper healing, transformation, and lasting change. Seeking help is a strength that takes courage. There is hope.
You May Be in the Right Place If...
Whether your struggles are visible to others or mostly carried quietly inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck, and ready for lasting change. And somewhere within you, there may still be a quiet knowing that your life can be different.
Perhaps you:
-
Feel anxious, tense, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge
-
Find yourself reacting strongly to situations even when you know you are safe
-
Struggle with shame, self-criticism, or feeling like you're not good enough
-
Keep repeating painful patterns in relationships
-
Feel disconnected from yourself or unsure of who you are
-
Avoid difficult emotions, memories, or situations
-
Understand your patterns intellectually but still can't seem to change them
-
Feel like the past continues to affect your life, even though you want to move forward
-
Have tried therapy before but feel ready for a deeper approach to healing
You May Be Ready for Something Different And Longing To...
-
Finally feel safe enough to stop living in a constant state of survival
-
Experience a sense of peace and calm within yourself that doesn't feel so hard to reach
-
Break free from the painful patterns and reactions that keep repeating in your life
-
Let go of the shame, self-doubt, and inner criticism that have followed you for years
-
Feel worthy of love, connection, and the life you truly want
-
Trust yourself and feel more confident in who you are
-
Feel present in your life instead of constantly being pulled back into the past
-
Experience healthier, more secure, and fulfilling relationships
-
Reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost beneath years of pain and survival
-
Feel more whole, grounded, and at peace with yourself
-
Move beyond simply surviving and begin creating a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and truly your own
If this sounds like you, you don't have to continue carrying the weight of the past alone. Healing is possible and there is hope. Therapy can be a place to begin.

Holistic Therapy for Trauma/PTSD
Healing the Roots of What Keeps You Stuck. I specialize in trauma therapy and an integrative approach to healing that addresses the whole person: mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I work with adults experiencing trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and relationship difficulties, integrating EMDR, somatic approaches, nervous system regulation, and Reiki-Assisted Therapy.
Somatic Therapy
Healing Through the Mind-Body Connection. A gentle mind-body approach that uses body-based techniques such as breathwork, tapping, vibration, mindful movement, grounding, and other energy-based practices to help reduce the effects of trauma and address nervous system dysregulation, dissociation, and feelings of disconnection from your body, emotions, or surroundings.
Reiki-Assisted Therapy
Supporting Healing on Every Level. Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, balance, and well-being. Integrated with psychotherapy, Reiki-Assisted Therapy combines energy healing with the depth and insight of therapy to support healing on spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical levels.
A Different Approach To Trauma Healing
You are more than what happened to you.
Sometimes traditional talk therapy isn't enough. You may understand intellectually why you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, yet still find yourself reacting in ways you can't fully control. Trauma can affect the way we think, feel, relate to others, and experience safety within our own bodies.
At Heart Wisdom Healing, I am passionate about providing genuine and compassionate holistic therapy that addresses the whole person: mind, body, emotions, and spirit. My integrative approach combines evidence-based trauma treatment with mind-body and holistic interventions to support deeper healing and address the root causes of distress.
THE GOAL IS TO REGAIN AND ENHANCE A SENSE OF PEACE, SAFETY AND GROUNDEDNESS IN YOUR BODY AND SPIRIT.
I believe therapy should not focus only on what is wrong or what needs to be fixed. We will also recognize and build upon the strengths, resilience, and inner wisdom that already exist within you.
My role is to serve as a light and a guide as you reconnect with yourself and move toward deeper healing, transformation, and lasting change.
Holistic Mind / Body Approach to Trauma Healing
I focus on overall well-being, offering techniques that address mind, body, and spirit
Safe and Compassionate Environment
My down-to-earth, compassionate, and empathetic approach to therapy creates a space that activates your growth and healing with a felt sense of safety, trust, and calm to process whatever is needed.
Strengths Based
Gaining insight and building on strengths to increase resilience and optimism.
Deep, Root-Cause Healing
Looking beneath the symptoms to understand and resolve the deeper patterns contributing to distress.

I am passionate and honored to bring 17 years of professional counseling experience and 10 years of experience providing EMDR, along with my love of integrating holistic interventions, to help facilitate healing in people who may have once felt hopeless, broken, or stuck.
Throughout my 17-year career, I have had the privilege of holding space for and guiding many people through the healing process. I have witnessed people recover from years of longstanding emotional pain, heal and transform in profound ways, and go on to create more meaningful and fulfilling lives. These experiences have shown me again and again that healing and lasting change are possible—and I believe they are possible for you, too.
My passion and dedication to helping others improve their lives truly comes from my loving heart.
I strive to bring authentic and genuine compassion to the therapeutic relationship and create an environment that activates the healing and change you desire.
My role is to serve as a light and a guide as you move toward deeper healing, transformation, and lasting change. There is hope. You don't have to do this alone. I would be honored to walk that journey with you.
