About My Clients
My ideal clients are teens or adults who typically struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions (including grief/loss, divorce, gender identity, sexual identity), and/or trauma. They are often highly sensitive (HSP), empathetic, naturally-gifted individuals who have lost themselves & are looking for someone to help them get back to living their best lives. I tend to attract clients who have a similar history to my own which helps me deeply relate to & identify with their journey.
My Background and Approach
My practice is '"integrative". Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly 20 years as a holistic practitioner in the field of complementary and alternative medicine. I bring that experience with me into my work as a therapist. I integrate the fundamental principles of traditional psychotherapy with holistic approaches (complimentary, alternative, and functional therapies), to promote healing on all levels: emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. I see every single client as unique and do not believe in a one-approach-fits-all model. Recognizing the link between physical disease and emotional dis-ease means that therapy is more than an opportunity to talk about your problems; it can restore your overall health and increase your life span.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My practice is "inclusive". I diligently work to uphold and adhere to the code of ethics that govern my field. Therefore, I promote the values of social justice and I am dedicated to working inclusively with people whose backgrounds, lifestyles, life stages, belief systems, identities and cultures might be different from my own. I strive to maintain a diverse practice, and provide my services to people of all races, ethnicities, immigration statuses, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, incomes, relationship statuses, sizes, and philosophies. I am a people person! I am ridiculously passionate about humans and their unique expression in this world. I am continually learning and growing, and I invite you to give me feedback should I say or do anything that makes you uncomfortable. I strive to create an environment where you feel free to bring all of you into our sessions without fear or hesitation.
