Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Self Psychology Explores the development of self-esteem and identity. It emphasizes the importance of empathy in healing.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: I offer an integrative, relational, and transpersonal approach to counseling. My practice is heart-centered and expression-focused, meaning we can work through traditional conversation or explore your inner wisdom through visualization, writing, movement, and visual art. I am deeply influenced by human development and attachment theories, as well as the transpersonal integral frameworks of Ken Wilber, the work on emotions from Karen McLaren, currently I am integrating more Yoga philosophy and practices and EMDR. Together, we will work collaboratively to untangle external situations from your internal experiences, helping you regain trust in yourself and others.
