My approach as a therapist and healer is to assist you in developing insight, clarity and self-compassion along the journey. With openness and a sense of safety, I believe everyone is capable of healing when provided with an unbiased, compassionate and trustworthy environment in which to uncover inner creativity and emotional awareness.
While I am versed in traditional "diagnosis" related treatment and understand the necessity to categorize in order to understand, I also attempt to help my clients uncover the spiritual and existential problems that may manifest in emotional and mental dis-ease. I believe that every human deserves the chance to feel heard, acknowledged and understood.

Therapists are different from family and friends in that we are removed from your every day life. This gives you the chance to speak to someone who has no history or preconceived ideas about what you are going through. We offer a fresh perspective on the reasons you may be seeking counseling. It is our responsibility to maintain objectivity and help you develop a clearer picture of the path to healing.
The body holds an immense amount of information related to our emotions, memories and inner world. It is the vessel through which we experience life, our environment and connecting with others. I am still willing to incorporate movement and somatic practices into sessions, but may not do so automatically.
This practice merges the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra meditation, translated as "Sleep of the Yogi, " within the psychological framework of the Western mind. This trauma-informed practice ushers practitioners through 8 levels of consciousness, presented one step at a time, in order to develop safe and intentional familiarity with your internal landscape.
Current Clients: I will continue to accept the insurance you currently use to work with me, if not listed above. I have developed a very affordable sliding scale as I believe that therapy SHOULD NOT be a luxury. Also, keep in mind that I can submit out-of-network claims to your insurance company which often, but not always, result in refunds for services.
