I am a collaborative therapist specializing in holistic counseling, where I emphasize the interconnectedness of emotional and physical well-being in therapy. I understand that each person's journey is unique, so I tailor my approach to suit individual needs. With honesty, openness, and a focus on solutions, I work alongside clients to navigate their challenges and foster holistic healing and growth.

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

In their first session with me, clients can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where they can freely express their thoughts and feelings. We'll begin by discussing their reasons for seeking therapy and any goals they hope to achieve. I'll take the time to learn about their personal history, including their strengths, challenges, and past experiences with therapy. Together, we'll collaboratively establish a treatment plan tailored to their individual needs and preferences. Clients can also expect to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors, as well as practical strategies to start addressing their concerns. Overall, the first session is an opportunity for clients to feel heard, understood, and empowered as we embark on their therapeutic journey together.

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

As a therapist, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. I strive to foster a collaborative and non-judgmental relationship with my clients, empowering them to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly and authentically. Additionally, my holistic approach to therapy allows me to address the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, providing clients with a comprehensive framework for healing and growth. I also consider my honesty, empathy, and commitment to ongoing professional development as essential strengths that contribute to my effectiveness as a provider.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With over 15 years of experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have developed a deep understanding of its principles and applications within holistic counseling. CBT is a highly effective therapeutic approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In my practice, I integrate CBT techniques into a holistic framework that addresses the mind, body, and spirit of each individual.

EMDR

With 15 years of experience in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, I have honed my skills in utilizing this powerful approach within a holistic counseling context. EMDR is a psychotherapy technique that helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences by engaging the brain's natural healing mechanisms. In my practice, I integrate EMDR therapy as part of a comprehensive holistic approach to healing and well-being

Attachment-based

With 15 years of experience in Attachment-Based Therapy, I have developed a deep understanding of how early attachment experiences shape individuals' relationships and emotional well-being throughout their lives. Attachment-Based Therapy is rooted in the understanding that early interactions with caregivers profoundly influence one's sense of security, self-worth, and ability to form healthy connections with others. In my holistic counseling practice, I integrate Attachment-Based Therapy as a cornerstone of my approach to healing and personal growth.

Grief Therapy

With 15 years of experience in grief-based therapy, I've cultivated a deep understanding of the complex and individualized nature of the grieving process. Grief-based therapy focuses on supporting individuals as they navigate the various emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses to loss. In my holistic counseling practice, I integrate grief-based therapy as a foundational component of supporting clients through loss and facilitating their journey towards healing and meaning-making.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

With 15 years of experience in mindfulness-based therapy, I've developed a deep understanding of its transformative power in promoting mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Mindfulness-based therapy incorporates principles of mindfulness meditation and awareness into therapeutic interventions to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness, acceptance, and self-compassion. In my holistic counseling practice, I integrate mindfulness-based therapy as a cornerstone of my approach to healing and personal growth.
