My Counseling Approach

I offer my services intuitively, feeling what will best be received for each person in each session. With an energy of compassion, kindness, and openness, a safe container is created for each person to find their voice, tell their story, and begin regaining balance in their life.

My counseling approach has been influenced by my training as a marriage and family therapist, my spiritual path, and by my own experience of healing. My approach is a blend of Transpersonal psychology, and Humanistic psychology, as well as many years of exploring nutrition, alternative forms of therapy, and healing.

The Foundation of my practice is built around my understanding of the interconnectedness of all of life. This understanding may best be described by the principals of Quantum Physics, which views all of life as energy. This energy (also called Qi, Prana, Mana, and Pneuma) flows through all physical matter. Each one of us represents a unique expression of this energy. Many of us have learned patterns of thought and emotion that limits our experience of this energy and from life around us. This self created illusion of separation is at the heart of all negative states of being, of all illness and disease.

What is a Typical Session Like?

A typical session may involve traditional talk therapy, guided meditation, visualizations, as well as movement and art therapy. I often incorporate tools and techniques for increased self awareness that one can integrate into their daily life. These include mindful awareness practices, nutritional guidance, healing meditation, daily intentions, and mantras for healing. The focus of holistic counseling often involves allowing repressed emotions to surface, as well as identifying and releasing outdated patterns of behaviors, beliefs, and emotional reactions. This is a gentle process that focuses on the energy of acceptance, compassion and love.
