About Me

In a safe and supportive environment, I provide treatment for individuals in a private practice that fosters trust, understanding, personal growth, and spiritual growth. I have 30+ years of experience as a therapist utilizing a mind/body/spirit, dialectical therapeutic approach, in addressing issues of grief/loss, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, and spiritual connection. I offer spiritually focused, shamanic counseling, and grief counseling in my work with clients . I work to build upon each person's unique strengths, internal wisdom, knowledge, and personal goals.
I have advanced training and experience employing Mind/Body therapies, EMDR, Flash Technique, Focusing, Mindfulness, grief counseling, shamanic counseling, energy healing and supportive yoga & movement techniques. Clients may experience shifts in unwanted patterns of thinking, a deeper clarity of purpose and self-esteem & healing thru mindfulness mastery.
