I have a holistic approach to counseling, taking into account the complex dynamic between mind and body. Many times, traditional talk therapy leads us to a new sense of Awareness (mind), but not much farther. To make lasting change, I believe the whole Self must be engaged, which often means digging deeper than our conscious mind. This may include the re-patterning of long-held beliefs that no longer serve you, or releasing energy that has been "stuck" or "stagnant" in a particular area. That "area" may be literally a place in your body, or, more likely, it is noticeable through one or more parts of your life not working out the way you would like, or just not running smoothly.
In order to expand my practice beyond the standard therapy model, my work includes techniques such as therapeutic breathwork, hypnotherapy, meditation, couples facilitation, life coaching, and spiritual counseling.
I specialize in relationships, intimacy and sexual issues, recovering from or managing chronic health conditions, Fibromyalgia and other "invisible" disabilities, trauma and PTSD, depression, low self image/self esteem, and addictive behaviors. I am also trained in an energy work style that is similar to Reiki, and have studied Barbara Brennan's Hands of Light energy style.
I work with individuals, couples, families and groups; all ages, as well as all genders and sexual orientations; and all alternative lifestyle choices. I look forward to helping you make the transformation in your life that you desire.
