ABOUT

Authentic
Pathways

 

Why Authentic Pathways? From thoughts to emotions to ways of being in the world, I have a passion for helping my clients identify what feels authentic and meaningful to them and also what no longer serves them. I want to help you connect with your true self and your values, knowing that our identity can grow and change. I use the plural of pathway because I believe that as we evolve what feels authentic to us can also evolve. The path that fulfills you today may turn into a different path tomorrow depending on your unique development. I will do everything in my power to ensure you feel understood and valued for who you are now and who you want to become.

​

As a trauma and grief specialist, I have gained extensive training and clinical experience with the Trauma Resolution Center in Miami, Florida by helping clients heal from traumatic experiences. All painful life events no matter their range in severity can contribute to beliefs, perceptions or behaviors that may be holding you back from connecting with your authentic self and living the life you want. Unresolved trauma can also result in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I help clients process and heal from difficult life experiences and gain insight into how these events have shaped their identity. When we gain awareness of how internalizing these experiences has negatively impacted us, we can start to identify new ways of thinking and being that help us thrive.

​

Through utilizing a range of approaches, including CBT, ACT, narrative, and trauma-informed therapy, I help clients reframe their thoughts, connect with their values, and alter their stories in order to create the changes they seek. I have experience treating general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, self-esteem issues, relationship problems, identity issues, and more. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families. My goal is to help you go deep and explore the root causes of current issues while simultaneously helping you develop the tools you need to improve symptoms in the here and now. We will address your past while also creating solutions in the present and setting goals for the future. Together we can help you find your authentic path forward.
