SACRED PSYCHOTHERAPY

Holistic Mental Health

​

I view mental health and wellness as a holistic endeavor — each of us is responsible for our well-being spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Any ailment on one level affects the other levels. Therefore, I like to address each dimension, especially where pain, confusion, or disharmony is experienced. Only then can acceptance, transformation, empowerment, and decisive action take place.

At Sapphire Lotus Holistic Healing Center, I provide mental health therapy, emotional healing, and spiritual guidance in each session as needed — for adults and adolescents. 

I listen to each individual’s circumstances, emotional cycles, thought patterns, habits, and physical  symptoms, with knowledge from my experience as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and through applying an intuitive skill set and holistic healing perspective.

​

The initial session is a diagnostic evaluation, where we identify problem areas based on your history and present moment awareness of your struggles. Next, we clarify treatment goals based on your vision. The individual sessions that follow take us on a path of healing unique to you. 

While I diagnose and treat mental health disorders, the true focus of my work is to provide a therapeutic relationship and hold space for clients developing self-love and acceptance, inner harmony, transformation, and new habits. Each person’s path to emotional healing is distinctive, and I utilize a variety of techniques to help clients process and release deep emotional wounds and self-destructive habits, while increasing their awareness of self, their environment, and relationships to foster a clear and solid sense of identity and course of action. Education and recommendations are offered that add to a client’s tool-kit for improved present-moment living, choice making, life-enhancing habits, and personal evolution.

The wide array of tools I utilize in my practice guides individuals towards wellness on all levels, supporting your own ability to heal. I blend techniques and strategies derived from my work as a mental health therapist using the following psychotherapy styles: Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and more. Career and life purpose direction can be provided as well, upon request. In addition, my training in energy healing, meditation and breath practices, qigong, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) help clients center, ground, process, and release stagnant energy.

My education includes a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Kent State University; a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies, with a minor in writing from Kent State University; certificates in Reiki I and Reiki II; energy healing training from EvolvingHumans; and special training in EFT, meditation, native awareness (soft skills), and intuitive arts. Other continuing education includes self-care for helping professionals, dream work, and men’s work. As a Graduate Assistant Coordinator at Kent State University, I co-taught Wellness for College Life and Beyond to freshman — teaching college students how to develop a holistic lifestyle. I’m also an advocate for the responsible use of herbal remedies, high quality supplements, and essential oils. My interest in holistic health, wellness, mental health, energy healing, and spirituality has led me to develop the necessary therapeutic frameworks to customize treatment for each client’s healing needs.
