LMFT, 25 years of experience
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, yoga and meditation teacher, and hypnotherapist, I have over 25 years of counseling experience, including 13 years in private practice. I am constantly fascinated and inspired by the mind-body-energy connection, and the resilience of the human spirit. In my practice I use traditional "talk therapy" methods, as well as unconscious processes to assist participants in moving forward toward what is intended.
In our first session, I will be interested in deeply understanding what you have been experiencing that led you to seek out a therapist, so that I can begin to be of service right away. I intend to create a safe and comfortable experience of therapy for you, where you feel safe, seen, and listened to. I ask a lot of questions and I give quite a bit of feedback. It is my intention that you feel that our time together adds significant value to your life, and that you are moving forward in the direction of your highest potential (even in the first session!).
I offer a unique blend of traditional talk therapy, meditation and mindfulness practices, as well as deeper, unconscious processes to assist each client with their personal intentions for big shifts and transformations. This style of therapy is highly individualized and suited to each client's unique strengths and preferences. I am compassionate, warm, engaging and I definitely talk more than you might expect. I offer real, safe, easy and comfortable practices and techniques that we will practice together in sessions, but that you can also take with you and use on your own outside of therapy.
Every person has the right and the capacity to heal, grow and move forward with greater clarity and freedom. Whether you're recovering from something traumatic, going through a major life transition, interested in having healthier relationships, or looking to effectively cope with stress and anxiety, certain therapeutic processes can help the unconscious mind to release, shift, and heal in a way that is pleasant and interesting, but also gets to the root, so that changes are natural and long lasting.
