A bespoke & holistic therapy approach

One size doesn’t fit all.

I listen to each individual’s circumstances, emotional cycles, thought patterns, habits, and physical symptoms, with knowledge from my experience as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and through applying an intuitive skill set and holistic healing perspective.

The initial session is a diagnostic evaluation, where we identify problem areas based on your history and present moment awareness of your struggles. Next, we clarify treatment goals based on your vision. The individual sessions that follow take us on a path of healing unique to you.

Education and recommendations are offered that add to a client’s toolkit for improved present-moment living, choice-making, life-enhancing habits, and personal evolution.

The wide array of tools I utilize in my practice guides individuals towards wellness on all levels, supporting your own ability to heal.

I blend techniques and strategies derived from my work as a mental health therapist using the following psychotherapy styles: Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and more.

Career and life purpose direction can be provided as well, upon request. In addition, my training in energy healing, meditation and breath practices, qigong, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) help clients center, ground, process, and release stagnant energy.

Treatment Approaches

  • Life coaching, or wellness coaching, is a process designed to equip you with the tools, motivation, and inspiration to maximize your personal and professional potential.

  • Mindfulness-informed therapy integrates present moment awareness as a tool that allows people to disengage from mental preoccupations and difficult emotions. The therapist teaches the practice of present moment awareness through non-judgmental observation of the mind and body.

  • Polyvagal Theory adds another dimension to the well-established “flight-or-flight” response. By including the brain’s polyvagal system, therapists teach clients about the biological instinct to be social with other humans - but only when feeling safe enough to do so. Therapists then work with their clients to establish safety in social situations so they can activate this brain system and feel connected to others.
