My Approach
My approach to counseling is relational and person-centered. This is the therapeutic foundation of healing. My general interventions are an integration of trauma-focused care, mind-body connectivity, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy through The Institute for Creative Mindfulness and specialize in the treatment of trauma related symptoms.
I believe that each person has the ability to heal
themselves from inside with awareness development and action. My role as counselor is to journey alongside of you as you venture into the new space of healing and renewal. Together, we focus on opportunities to grow in self-understanding and empowerment to act within your cultural context. I am open to the whole of who you are as a person and am affirming of all expressions of self.
My practice is open to the full diversity of human beings: all expressions of sexuality, gender identification, personal or ethnic culture, social location, religion/spirituality, absence of religion/spirituality, or other unique framework of identity you hold.
Life circumstances can leave us feeling out of control and helpless. Psychotherapy provides the space to safely challenge thoughts and feelings, develop awareness of the mind-body connection, and explore ways to thrive even in difficult times. It is a great privilege for me to join you in a challenging place in your life and journey together towards hope and healing.
