Sometimes shared space is the greatest thing we experience with each other. As a provider, I hope to use our space to inspire helpful insight utilizing a humanistic-transpersonal approach. Through positive inquisition, we start to see our remarkable qualities by exploring thoughts, behaviors, and experiences via discussions meaningful to you. There are many counseling principles I utilize as a practitioner. I find it difficult to choose just one theoretical concept and more beneficial to be well versed in a variety of treatment modalities to best meet the individual’s needs. As a provider, I strive to have a vast network of colleague’s expertise to consult with and learn from. As needs change, providers must be adaptable and discover new information, recent studies provide best practices to consider incorporating. I am dedicated to trauma informed care and creating a safe space to share experiences our society has trouble processing. We will learn and grow together about specific modalities of interest, I may not be so familiar with. As your provider, I intend to focus on what you deem is priority. A humanistic approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, creating an ideal space for accessing innate healing abilities. This approach appreciates beauty in imperfection and assists individuals in recognizing worth in themselves. Helping an individual develop a supportive network is also a priority as a practitioner. Our connections to each other and the world around us remain a lifeline for individuals coping with distress. An integrative nursing approach has similar principles to nursing theorist Jean Watson; encouraging spirituality, a broader sense of self, unconditional acceptance, and altruism. These values breathe life into well-being and a healthy, optimistic existence. Mental health is not the absence of symptoms. Mental health is defined by one’s ability to access their inner resources to feel, process, adapt, and prevail. I look forward to opportunities of interaction with my fellow humans and strive to help ease suffering by providing support, understanding, compassion, and the skills necessary to manage the complexities of everyday life and the challenges of humanity.

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

A warm friendly conversation to identify intentions for our sessions.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

As a patient-centered provider, I utilize many different treatment modalities to meet unique needs. However, I always utilize a humanistic-trauma informed approach. We will work together to identify what treatment modalities may be most helpful to you. Life’s setting must always be considered to access innate healing abilities. Together we will identify ways to optimize your environment to maintain feelings of safety, security, and comfort.

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

One of my strengths is working with individuals who have experienced or are currently undergoing treatment with psychedelics. I believe in integration therapy and the power these experiences provide for growth and change. While acknowledging the human experience is challenging, we recognize the ability to move beyond the boundaries of the ego to access our enhanced capacity for wisdom, creativity, and unconditional love. By exploring different parts of consciousness, we can find, build, and promote inner strengths, encouraging the healing process.

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

My practice is focused on providing second opinions related to current medication regimes and discussions surrounding Ketamine assisted therapy.
