I am continually in awe of the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. Good therapy consists of recognizing that the client is greater than their problems. It is a belief that people can grow, heal, and transform. Change occurs when we experience grace through awareness of self, challenging old beliefs, learning new skills, and letting go of pain. My task and privilege is to assist you in this process. So to that end I would like to work with you in a collaborative way in a human to human connection to provide the foundation for change.
I take a holistic approach viewing the body, mind, and spirit as interrelated. I work with you to discover your innermost sense of self and purpose. Together we will seek a balanced development of the intellect, emotional, spiritual, physical, social and creative expressions to facilitate wholeness.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness Therapies to provide practical ways of looking at and staying present when implementing change in behaviors. I embrace Energy Psychology utilizing energy techniques to access stuck energy in your system. I also provide guided imagery, relaxation, and meditation techniques.
