I believe we all have a natural instinct to move toward healing and wholeness - like a plant naturally faces the sun. I believe there is always a gift in pain and suffering. I believe counseling is one of the many beautiful paths to healing. I am a big believer in alternative medicine. I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. Through working with clients and their families, I have witnessed that you get out what you put in. If you put effort into counseling. If you do “the work,” you will see change and your quality of life will improve. It is a miraculous process that happens both bit by bit and all of the sudden. You’ll see! I also want to share that I am friendly toward those clients living alternative lifestyles such a polyamorous or open relationships. The concept of the "family" is evolving, and that is a good thing. You can be sure that I will be sensitive to, appreciate, and even celebrate your unique relationship(s) and family constellation. I have been specially trained in emotional trauma. My approach is eclectic. I practice Cognitive Based Therapy, or CBT, and I integrate concepts and techniques from mindfulness-based approaches like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT. I also include concepts from Internal Family Systems, IFS, and Psychodynamic Counseling (specifically Jungian) as needed. For example, shadow-type work and dream analysis.
