About My Clients
My greatest passion is working with intersections of mental health and transformation, be it secular or spiritual awakening. There are common threads in how I work with clients and the issues that arise, but therapy is never a one-size-fits-all approach. I will help you identify your goals, which will go a long way toward determining how we spend our time together. My experience in a variety of mental health and wellness settings since 2008 allows me to connect to a wide range of experiences.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed professional counselor and mindfulness-based psychotherapist, trained in clinical mental health counseling, with concentrations in transpersonal psychology, contemplative psychology, and humanistic psychology. I’ve occupied the role of mental health professional since 2008, in numerous capacities as a wilderness therapy field instructor, therapeutic mentor, life and recovery coach, group facilitator, meditation instructor, and educator. As a mindfulness-based psychotherapist, my primary role is to hold a safe and sacred space for you to increase awareness and compassion, with the aim to embody a greater sense of empowerment, agency, and choice in your life. I started Mind The Center as a way to combine mindfulness and psychotherapy. Mindfulness is both a professional tool and a personal passion. As a client, you will benefit in session from mindfulness-based therapeutic techniques, but you are not required to practice meditation in any formal way.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Taking action toward your growth and wellbeing can feel daunting, and beginning therapy might be one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. I want you to know how much I honor the courage it takes to pursue a more connected, authentic life for yourself. Mindfulness-based psychotherapy produces the insight and self-compassion necessary to identify your needs and progress toward your goals. So often, unconscious dynamics and inherited patterns of behavior dominate our lives. These processes usually exist beneath or outside of our conscious awareness. My role is to help you encounter the truth of your life, while embodying enough kindness to change. I look forward to accompanying you on your healing journey.
