How:

​

First and foremost, I am not a "shrink" just trying to get into your head or make you change.  My goal is simply to connect with you on what matters to you.  Once you and I have a foundation of trust and understanding we can experiment with different techniques that may deepen your insight, emotional balance, groundedness, and sense of direction. What I love about this work is that every single client I see is totally unique.  I am always surprised and learning.  Yet, certain frames of reference and activities are time and again helpful in helping people heal, grow, and find their way.  I draw from a variety of modalities and theoretical orientations and offer them in a way that is as unique as you. Some of these include: Gestalt, Wilderness Therapy, Ecopsychology, Internal Family Systems, Guided Visualizations, Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Transpersonal Psychology, PACT, and Positive Psychology.  I am grounded in Rogerian principles, apply a Humanistic and Culturally Sensitive approach, and incorporate Existential Philosophy in my work.  In the process, you become much more aware of who you are, how you came to be as you are, what you truly value, what makes you "tick," how to give your gifts authentically and get paid well for them, and so much more!
