Counseling will assist in the expansion of what is already beautifully within each individual. During counseling, we use words such as "energy", "spine", "nervous system" and "brain" when approaching healing. Therapy uses deep somatic and emotional awareness, restoration, and release. The counselor becomes the mirror for the client/s sitting in front me to confront and overcome false perceptions, beliefs, or patterns that might be holding them back. There is promotion of self-awareness, personal growth, and positive change, evoking feelings of empowerment, liberation, and transformation.
Breaking Illusions Counseling focuses on helping clients confront and overcome perceptions, beliefs, or patterns that might be holding them back in their personal lives. This implies a commitment to promoting self-awareness, personal growth, and positive change. It is the process involving a safe space where clients can work through their issues, transform their lives, and shatter the barriers that have been keeping them from living their best life.



Professionally, I function from a humanistic, somatic, strengths-based methodology. Here are core competency areas of focus:

At Breaking Illusions Counseling, our mission is to establish a nonjudgmental safe space to form a connection between the ego/spirit and the soul.
Our approach is not a “one size fits all” method and is client-led. Our goal is to guide you on reconnecting to yourself and building your self-trust so that you can get unstuck and create your own happiness.
Our therapy approach is soul-centered, client-focused, human-focused and these benefit clients in that they feel heard, seen, connected, in the midst of chaos.
Anchoring into the beautiful destruction to help evolve the next version of who you are meant to be.

A typical counseling session at Breaking Illusions Counseling LLC lasts for 50 minutes, although some sessions may be longer or shorter depending on your needs and preferences. On average, therapy takes 4-6 months. This is highly flexible in timing as no timeline is set in stone. Oftentimes coming and going to and from therapy is healthy, as well as re-entering therapy as difficulties arise is recommended. At any point, the client can terminate services as that is their right.
Therapy is creating a safe space to share ongoing difficulties in helping to co-regulate dysregulated nervous systems. This spills over into other areas of life socially, relationally, and emotionally. Typical goals are to gain self-awareness, more effective coping skills both internally and externally, have healthier relationships, reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. Learning how to expand emotions and build bodily tolerance for emotions, gain emotional intelligence, empowerment, problem resolution, and navigate life's challenges to provide a more fulfilling life. Therapy helps to explore thoughts, change negative patterns, distressing bodily sensations, and build resilience. Other benefits of therapy involve decreasing stress levels, emotional regulation, enhanced self understanding, and better overall functioning.
Finding the best fit therapist for you is important as well. If you do not feel connected to your therapist, results will be deterred.
Step 1: Fill out consultation/intake form on website.
Step 2: Therapist will then get ahold of you via phone and/or email to go over any questions or concerns you may have. If none, therapist collects all information necessary to send you a link to paperwork via working email.
Step 3: Client fills out paperwork sent in an email. Downloads free Simple Practice Client Portal App. Creates an account for that app.
Step 4: Then requests an evaluation/psychiatric diagnostic appointment for their first appointment. OR reaches out to therapist to schedule appointment/s.
