On Individual Therapy
It takes courage to enter that space for the grace of healing to occur, so I am committed to establishing a sense of safety for clients. I provide a space of deep listening and honest reflection.
I partner with clients in what is often a very difficult period in their lives. I am trauma-informed and use evidence-based treatment plans designed to integrate verbal counseling, CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). If you are interested, I also include instruction in basic techniques of breath-work and meditation. I find that the inclusion of yogic technique empowers clients to make strong progress and truly claim personal balance through their therapeutic progress.
Over time I have tailored my approach to benefit clients who have an hyper-sensitive constitution, especially with a history of abuse or trauma; searching for a sense of destiny and purpose in life; or looking to become more creative.
Clients typically make long-term lifestyle changes that promote well-being and enjoy more satisfying, conscious relationships. I consider it a privilege to sit with clients in the sacred space of psychotherapy, and meaningful changes happen. You deserve the help and healing.
On Couples Therapy
Do you feel like your primary relationship is emotionally distanced and lonely? Or do you feel like you fight all the time?
You deserve the support and attention that couple’s therapy can bring to increase the strength and vitality of your relationship.
For couple’s work, I successfully integrate my training in Gottman approaches, and Terry Real’s work (Relational Life Therapy). I address the ways that trauma, depression, and anxiety intersect within the relationship and I offer approaches about how to change harmful communication patterns. If clients are interested, I also offer instructions in couple’s meditations to increase the emotional connection between the partners.
