Why Bright Aura Was Founded
After nearly 30 years working in mental health care, including inpatient, outpatient, and traditional clinical settings, I developed a deep appreciation for the science, experience, and therapeutic relationships that make psychotherapy effective.
Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals who developed meaningful insight into their experiences, trauma, and behavioral patterns, yet continued to struggle with emotional and physical responses that were difficult to change. I became increasingly interested in the connection between the mind and body, nervous system responses, and the role of self-awareness and intuition in the healing process.
These experiences shaped my vision for Bright Aura Therapy & Wellness.
I wanted to create a practice grounded in strong clinical expertise while also recognizing that healing is not always a purely cognitive process. A place where individuals could receive professional mental health care, explore deeper emotional patterns, reconnect with themselves, and have access to Reiki as a separate wellness experience.
Bright Aura reflects both my clinical experience and my belief that healing is deeply personal. Our practice honors evidence-based psychotherapy while creating space for greater self-understanding, mind-body awareness, and individual choice.
“Bright Aura was created from nearly three decades of clinical experience and the belief that meaningful healing involves understanding not only our thoughts and emotions, but also how we experience them within ourselves.”
