ABOUT

I was trained in Behavior Therapies with a strong background in humanistic approaches. My therapeutic toolbox also includes breathing techniques, energy work, and meditation.  I use approaches customized for each client. My diverse background allows me to see each person as a unique individual without labels and traditional diagnosis. I design customized learning and therapy programs for each person's needs. I work extensively with the masculine and feminine energies within us and between us, providing practical tools to first honor then release old patterns that no longer serve us. My philosophy is summarized in what I call the Soul Directed Life, an approach that reveals, inspires and supports personal, professional, relational and spiritual growth allowing the authentic self to give its highest gift to the world. My work with couples helps transform a relationship into a Thriving-level relationship, including specific communication and sensual practices that puts each partner in service to the other at the highest levels of mutual support, understanding and love.  I also have a specialty in phobia, panic and anxiety disorders. My connections to the religious, non-religious and spiritual communities gives me a unique ability to communicate from each person's perspective and value system. I am familiar with sacred medicine, energy work and shamanic practices.

TREATMENT APPROACH

BehaviorismBehaviorism is an approach to psychology that emphasizes the role of the environment in shaping behavior. It is based on the assumption that behavior is determined by environmental influences, such as reinforcements and punishments, rather than by internal influences, such as thoughts and feelings.

Body-Mind PsychotherapyBody-mind psychotherapy is an integrative approach to psychological treatment that draws from both psychotherapeutic and somatic/body-based approaches. It emphasizes the interconnection between physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of being. This approach seeks to help individuals explore how physical sensations, emotions, thoughts and beliefs influence their behavior and well-being. Through this exploration, individuals can gain insight into how the body and mind interact to create patterns of behavior, and how those patterns can be changed to promote healing and wellness.

Family Systems TherapyFamily Systems Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of understanding how the family functions as a whole, and how individual family members interact and affect one another. It focuses on how family dynamics, such as communication patterns, roles, and power dynamics, shape behavior, and how changing these dynamics can lead to positive change. Family Systems Therapy is a collaborative approach, where the therapist works with the family as a whole to identify and address areas of conflict and distress.

HypnotherapyHypnotherapy induces an altered state of awareness, also known as a trance, which is a state of relaxation and heightened suggestibility. During hypnotherapy sessions, the therapist will talk to the client in a calming and soothing manner, using language and metaphors that are tailored to the individual. The purpose of this is to create a focused concentration on the part of the client, which can be used to access the subconscious mind and suggest alternatives to the behaviors and beliefs that are causing distress. The therapist may also use visual imagery to create a more vivid mental experience. With the help of the hypnotherapist, the client can explore the subconscious mind and gain insight into the underlying causes of the problem, and then use this knowledge to create positive changes in the present.

Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian Therapy)Person-centered therapy, or Rogerian therapy, was developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940’s. It is a form of talk therapy that emphasizes the importance of providing psychological safety, unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding to clients. This type of therapy is based on the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for self-actualization and self-understanding and that the therapist's role is to provide a supportive environment in which this process can take place. Through the use of active listening, open-ended questions, and non-judgmental reflection, the therapist helps the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and accepting environment. By doing so, clients are able to gain insight into their issues, develop a greater understanding of themselves, and work towards personal growth.
