I believe in and help to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship based on compassion, trust, and humility. As a psycho-spiritual counselor with a holistic perspective, I work with mind, body, spirit connections, and as such I see my clients as full of potential and creativity. I am deeply interested in the emerging field of psilocybin assisted therapy and I am happy to work with clients as they integrate their own personal journeys. I have a passion for social and environmental justice, and as an ever-aspiring multicultural counselor, I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds, cultures and lifestyles.
My treatment approaches are an eclectic and integrated mix of best practice models that include: mindfulness-based practices such as ACT, substance use harm reduction, internal family systems (IFS), and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tools designed to last. I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, while supporting lifestyle changes.
From my own personal healing journey, I am attuned to complex trauma and its manifest sequelae in all its forms including burnout and relationship problems. I also recognize that addictive behavior is often an attempt to cope, connect, and heal trauma. As a wounded healer myself, I can empathically relate to my clients as they journey toward self healing.
