About My Clients
Are you feeling unsettled? I help guide folks to develop a practice return to center and move through life with ease. Building on new pathways and away from old patterns to create lasting sustainable change. These practices are to align mind, body and spirit and teach you to slow down, be thoughtful and responsive using evidence based practices of mindfulness, DBT and CBT. I offer Mindfulness 101 workshop series for groups and agencies.
My Background and Approach
For over 25 years, I have been working directly with persons in growing their capacity to heal and change. I have worked in nonprofits in direct care and management position, with substance abuse, mental health and medicated assisted treatment. Additionally, I have worked in private practice since 2009. I use mindfulness based practices, DBT and CBT. These simple practices have brought me (and so many I have worked with!) back to center and towards aligning with our true nature. My approach is strength based, solution focused and holisitic which includes finding ways to challenge unhealthy patterns by creating an inner pause to allow opportunities to move through moments with awareness and intention. Everyone has the capacity for change, heal and grow. I invite you to be curious, observe yourself with self compassion and without judgement. Find opportunities to increase space to ground, restore and enliven your healing energy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone has the capacity to heal, change and grow. For many years I have been an organizer and activist fighting for social justice and systemic change. I have seen folks struggle within the struggle and often lose sight of themselves in the process. I believe connecting mind, body and spirit is essential to build our strength and reconnection to our true nature. I know we can not heal ourselves in a vacuum or in isolation, it is our connection to ourselves and others within community that provide us with the strength to do so. I specialize in mindfulness based practices and CBT because that is what has worked for me and proven to work with so many of my clients. Observing ourselves with compassion, without judgement is the path towards growth and recovery.
