My work with clients is based on the holistic philosophy of transpersonal, humanistic, mindfulness, and depth psychology. I use a client-centric approach that honors the lived experience and inherent wisdom of my clients in the dimensions of mind, body, emotions, spirituality, creativity, and community. The therapeutic process is focused on facilitating a client's self-awareness, self-acceptance, curiosity, and courage to change. Clients who benefit most from this approach have a strong desire to heal, gain insight, and transform insight into action.

I help clients reduce dependence on the habitual use of survival strategies that no longer serve their needs. The core of humanistic-oriented therapy is to help clients find the courage to be authentic in their lives and to gain freedom through consciousness. I also help clients understand their brain and how to avoid being hijacked by unhelpful reactivity.
If you are a highly sensitive person (HSP) please inquire about addressing the special needs of HSPs. I am also a rock climber and integrate lesson from this experience including facing fears, practicing mindfulness, engaging in problem solving, and cultivating humility. My HSP dog Sophie accompanies me at my Mammoth office.
