As a therapist, I am committed to helping you have healthier, more balanced, harmonious lives and relationships. My therapy approach includes traditional and holistic healing techniques that involve mind, body, heart and spirit as well as things unseen. My years of experience in community mental health include individual, child, couples, co-parenting and family therapy. I am able to relate well to many different cultural, ethnic, socio-economic groups. With an M.A. in transpersonal psychology and an M.B.A. plus 25 years of corporate experience, I use a broad range of skills to help my clients explore their needs and goals. As a certified yoga and meditation teacher, many of my clients have learned mindfulness techniques that enhance their recovery. All of us need confidential support for different things at times. My job is to compassionately support you in what you need, with your values, to have the life that you want.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During intake I do a broad review of mental health history, trauma background, family & friend support network, safety assessment and complete legal decisions (eg confidentiality, tech risk, safety protocols, cancellation policy/fee). I explore client expectations for / concerns about psychotherapy and answer questions about being the right fit for clients. We explore client's symptoms and determine a diagnosis for treatment planning.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a holistic approach and leverage skills developed from my psychotherapy training, corporate training, and eastern spiritial practices to help clients improve. I am also a certified meditation and yoga teacher, so can leverage those principles as well.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Individual clients from teens to elderly, mostly between 17 to 65 years old. Most have common mental health strugggles and some past trauma or significant grief. I believe strongly in diversity and appreciate a variety of clients from different cultural, socioeconomic backgrounds with any form of spiritual beliefs.

My treatment methods

Transpersonal

Transpersonal /CBT takes into account holistic healing - mind, body, heart, and spirit are inseparable. Treating the personal as a whole allows for expanded understanding and broader solutions to be developed. Leveraging coping strategies from all aspects of life helps improve overall quality of life instead of just the problem in that moment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Utilizing all forms of CBT / Solutions Focused principles help clients develop a healthy internal dialog and adopt more supportive beliefs, as well as help process emotional scars and past traumas. This will also help diminish/ overcome negative behaviors and discover new approaches to life problems. Being solutions focused rather than problem focused will help improve quality of life and relieve suffering.
