"We are all just walking each other home." - 

Ram Dass

 

Compassion & Non-Judgement& directness

I meet each client as a blank slate and do not focus on labels or any of the other boxes that we check to tell ourselves who someone else is.  My focus is working with hurting people that want to stop the cycle of woundedness and find wholeness & purpose.  Often it is behaviors that mask the deeper pain and it takes courage to reach out for help.  Working together, we can start to find your way back home. 

I look forward to speaking with you and seeing if my services are right for you.  If not, I am more than happy to offer you referrals to other therapists that may be better suited to your specific needs. 

“We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

How I work

  • I create an individualized treatment plan for each client.

  • I honor the sacredness of each person's story and hold space for their process with the utmost respect and confidentiality.

  • My therapy is informed by a number of modalities to meet the client where they are on their path, including; Somatic Experiential - SomEx, CBT*, DBT*, mindfulness, EMDR*, Reiki, breathwork, experiential, psychodrama, solution-focused, life-coaching, EFT*, motivational interviewing .

  • I assess for emotional regulation and level of distress tolerance before moving into deeper trauma work.

  • I teach clients how to develop grounding skills, if needed, to use in stressful situations or during high anxiety.

  • I will introduce enrichment assignments between sessions in order to enhance & deepen the recovery and healing process.

  • I will assist clients in developing or maintaining a recovery lifestyle for new or continued sobriety.

  • I facilitate the practice of new behaviors and offer accountability for clients that are moving out of old, ineffective patterns and behaviors.

  • I interweave art, music, nature, rituals, and other creative aspects into therapy.
