Guiding Principles and Beliefs:
Psychotherapy and counseling with
Healthy mind, healthy living
Therapy and counseling with a caring, kind and compassionate skilled professional can help children, adolescents and adults in a variety of ways. For one, exploring life's problems or difficulties with a fresh perspective and curiosity about what skills, abilities and know-how we all already possess about our circumstances, is a step closer to increased hope, adjustment and overall well-being.
I work with you to create a Safe and Nurturing environment to foster self-awareness and promote healing. Virtual sessions allow us to connect with much more ease and comfort.
I acknowledge my position of power as a white, cis-gendered, woman and stay curious with you about your own lived experience. The personal is political.
While you or a loved one may be experiencing a range of difficulties, you are not broken or in need of fixing - you are hurting and in need of care and compassion.
Our bodies and minds, have an innate ability to heal - practices exist to jump-start, unblock and restore this ability and find balance.
Rather than simply focusing on eliminating difficult symptoms, we work together to explore, identify and heal core issues that lie beneath the difficulties we are experiencing.
With increased clarity about patterns of thinking, behavior and emotions that might be keeping you stuck or unhappy, there are evidence-based approaches to help unburden and heal.
With increased clarity and balance, you can learn and practice new skills for relating to yourself, your emotions, relationships and life’s circumstances with Kindness and Acceptance.
