About My Clients
I employ next layer healing with many of my clients, who have already had success utilizing therapeutic techniques to target specific symptoms. Despite this success and progress, they often still feel that something is out of alignment. Using an integrative and holistic approach, I help clients work towards a deeper layer of healing that gets to the root of judgments and negative messages they have received through the human experience.
My Approach to Helping
I have been practicing as an individual therapist since 2003, and as an anxiety specialist for over ten years. My work with clients is not only based on years of practical application, but is grounded in clinical evidence and interventions. With a humanistic approach and through a trauma informed lens, I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Polyvagal Theory, and Shame Resilience. I have spent the later part of my life studying and mastering clinical interventions to help those struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, and grief. I offer a compassionate environment to hold space for all your feelings. In our work together you will learn how your thoughts shape your feelings. You will learn to incorporate tools to overcome your symptoms and help you shift the way you feel. Together we will build on the strengths already present in yourself to help you cope with and manage your current stress.
My Values as a Therapist
I don't practice with people to help them change who they are. I work with people so they can become more of who they are. I recognize we all have life wounds we are trying to reconcile, and I work with clients to help them heal and acknowledge their own worth. I believe wholeheartedly in accepting who we are and our experience of life. By learning to work with ourselves instead of against ourselves we can learn to live more fulfilling lives. For me, the principle tools in therapy are the therapeutic relationship and holding space for feelings. With this foundation, we can begin to implement formal interventions for true healing.
