Hi, I’m Beverly and I have been a psychotherapist since January, 1999. I have experience providing therapy in multiple settings over the years, including private practice, online platforms, Kaiser Permanente department of psychiatry, outpatient clinics, Hospice, inpatient medical detox, and various school and university settings. I am also a Chopra certified meditation instructor. Currently, I work mostly with high functioning, high insight adult individuals in private practice, focusing primarily on women’s issues, relational dynamics and skills, mind/body healing, positive manifestation and personal development and empowerment. I take an individually curated approach, created in partnership with each client, utilizing creativity, often image/metaphor, symbolic dream work and integrated somatic focus. I love to share the gifts gained as a Chopra instructor as well, to those interested in utilizing meditation. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, understanding space and for you to consistently leave feeling significantly better!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect to be seen and heard and met with empathic support.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My treatment approach is strength based, positive and uplifting, versus "problem" focused. My therapeutic framework is one of relaxed empathy, support, creativity, intuitive guidance, patience and safety. I utilize creative framing and symbol, art therapy, somatic integration, meditation, dream work and have a psychodynamic clinical orientation (making the unconscious, conscious).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest clinical strength is capacity for analysis, helping to make unconscious driving forces and patterns, more conscious, resulting in increased empowerment and health. I also utilize symbol/metaphor/imagery to a great extent and enjoy creating personalized healing rituals with clients. Having the Chopra certification also contributes an expanded, supplemental skill set. Please visit my profile with brief video listed on PsychologyToday.com as well as my website: pathtowardpeace.com for more information and I look forward to working together if it feels like a fit! Wishing you peace and wellbeing ~ Beverly
