As an LPCi, I am unable to take insurance. I offer individual counseling sessions on Tuesdays/Fridays; I regularly lead Mindfulness groups.

My Approach

My therapeutic approach is body based, spiritually integrated psychotherapy. This approach recognizes the integral connection between your thoughts, emotions and physical body; as well as how each of these interact with your worldview and sense of purpose. This holistic approach to counseling can help you meet your therapeutic goals more quickly and guide you to a place where your mind, body, and spirit work together in harmony. When you find this place, you can dwell in inspiration, creativity, authenticity, and joy. It is my heart's calling to help others travel the path to this level of wellness. As you process the past, accept the present, and grow into your best self, I welcome the honor of walking with you.

My Background

I have a BA in Philosophy (2004), an MA in Counseling (2015), and am a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance (2013). I have seen 10-15 clients per week over the past two years as a Counseling Intern. The majority of my experience has been in the treatment of anxiety, depression, spiritual issues, and unprocessed trauma. I specialize in body-based counseling, which involves teaching body awareness, breath work, and other mindfulness skills. I also specialize in integrating spirituality (one's sense of connection to something bigger than oneself and the related quest for meaning) in counseling . I encourage clients to explore the integral connection between their thoughts, emotions and physical body; as well as how each of these interact with their worldview and sense of purpose.
