Counseling Therapy

In life, we can find ourselves caught in states of reactivity; losing touch with the essence of who and what we are. Sometimes this results in abandoning practices and rituals that nourish our body, mind and soul. In session, we engage in exploring practices to support clients in rediscovering their potential, balance and bliss.

In counseling, my approach is eclectic; it is grounded in values work, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, energy psychology and influenced by mindfulness informed therapies. As an energy therapist, my goal is to support clients in attending to all aspects of themselves — mental (examining beliefs, attitudes, thought processes), physical (healing old traumas and feeling comfortable in our own skin), spiritual (exploring deeper meaning in our lives and of existence itself) and soul connection and exploration.

I support mid to high functioning individuals who are navigating the waters of stress / anxiety and have a desire to evolve and expand through mindfulness and self-care practices which fuel emotional, mental / physical energies and overall well being. For clients who wish to dive deep into the roots of their stress / anxiety, I offer psycho-education and exercises to navigate this process. Goals of counseling therapy include developing a better understanding with forces that drive us from within. With self-compassion and kindness, we to consider what thoughts, beliefs and choices fuel our purpose and passion for life and which ones stand in the way. A collaboration of building a life by intentional design is the outcome of the work along with the tools to maintain it.

While I do not believe that there is a “one size fits all” approach to counseling, there are certain through lines in my work. I believe we all make the most progress in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Countless studies have shown that finding the right "fit" with a therapist is more important than the technique that is used. First and foremost, I am committed to making my clients feel comfortable and at ease. From that place of safety, counseling can help you develop greater self-awareness, gain insight into behavioral patterns and relationships, and understand the obstacles that hold you back. I am active, direct yet gentle in sessions — my goal is to serve as a guide to help clients process, reframe, and re-pattern whatever stands in your way from leading a fulfilled life. Ultimately, I believe that therapy can help you identify your needs, find a clearer vision for your life, and increase your capacity for love, intimacy, and happiness.

For clients interested in mind/body work, we incorporate aspects of traditional talk therapy with practices such as mindfulness, breath work, kundalini yoga, guided imagery/visualization, hypnotherapy and meditation,  During our work together, we can work together as a team to design a program that works for you.
