The counseling methods I use inherently honor the mind-body-spirit connection
HOLISTIC
My holistic view of the human condition considers the entire person- body, mind, and spirit –with the perspective that addressing these aspects together provides the most thorough and effective treatment approach.
I am respectful of a variety of additional kinds of health-building approaches including nutrition and gut/digestive health, functional medicine, massage therapy, acupuncture, energy work, or hormone balancing.
I offer referrals to providers of these types if desired.
I employ concepts from Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Psychology, Parts Work/Ego State/IFS, and EMDR in my therapy approach.
The integration of my approaches helps you experience healing via increased attunement to how your system relates to other people’s systems.
Through this process, the holistic connection between mind-body-spirit is integrated. When it is safe to do so, you are able to move from a closed, defensive stance to a curious, open stance towards self and others.
My clients have described this healing process as helping them connect with self, others, nature, and God.

EMPOWERING!
We will talk a lot about “what is RIGHT with you!”
You’ve probably spent enough time asking yourself, “what is WRONG with me?” This can lead to discouragement, despair, and an inability to see a path forward. When we talk about what is RIGHT with you, you will become more aware of your positive qualities, assets and resources, which will help you feel empowered to confront and resolve difficult circumstances.
Laughter is Good for the Soul!
Sure, we will be talking about serious stuff, but there may be moments where humor is helpful along the way!
Laughter increases the release of endorphins, eases pain, and induces a sense of relaxation while reducing feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety.
And also…laughing is just FUN!
