My counseling encompasses a humanistic, grounded approach that treats the client as a whole person. I help the person uncover and be empowered to use one's own natural resources, strengths, and abilities to cope with whatever he/she is facing. I create a safe, calm and open environment that allows one to make connections, explore alternate perspectives, and promote growth and personal wellness in creative and effective ways. As a Registered Yoga Teacher, I incorporate breathing techniques, emotional regulation, meditation and mindfulness into my work with clients. I offer approaches such as CBT, DBT, Assertiveness, and other Gestalt and relational therapies. I work creatively with the person to find one's own form of expression and what works to communicate in the session. I am most effective in dealing with anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationships, and identity formation and exploration. I enjoy helping people through the phases and transitions of life.
