My approach is both traditional and experiential, helping you move through what blocks you from being fully yourself.
Check out this video to see more about my techniques.
Talk therapy is good a way to get to know you and identify some of your goals, and patterns. Together we can figure out what hasn’t been working and what direction you’d like to go.
Creative arts therapies such as making art and writing can help you engage deeper, to lovingly integrate parts of yourself that you haven’t been able to access or accept.
Mindfulness can help you become more aware of what’s going on and learn to release the need to react. Somatic (body) techniques help us go deeper to help you heal more fully.
As therapy unifies us, it frees the jailer and the prisoner. . . We have been our own oppressors, and the excitement of our spontaneous self has been locked into immobility or artifice by our fear. Therapy brings us back to life again.

Writings
- So what is psychotherapy, anyway?As I see it, it is my role as therapist or counselor to attend, guide, and serve my client’s psyche (soul) to remove some of the barriers so they can pursue healthy and spiritual development. This means treating the whole self.
