About My Clients
Do you feel anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed by the busyness of life? Does each day seem to create a sense of dread and exhaustion? Are you ready to make a change? Anxiety and stress are the new norm in this day and age. I take a counter-cultural approach to try to live differently with intention to promote wellbeing and a sense of satisfaction and purpose in life. It doesn't mean that it will be easy, but it will be worth it.
My Background and Approach
My 10+ years of experience as a therapist with my training as a 200+ hr yoga teacher (CYT) and mindfulness meditation teacher (MMT) certifications inform my work. I combine these mindfulness practices with those of cutting-edge neuroscience and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address your individualized treatment goal. My approach is cognitive behavioral as I focus on understanding the interplay between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions as well as what aspects of the model may be maintaining the symptoms or presenting situation. Additionally, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which incorporates values and mindfulness/meditation. Mindfulness helps in understanding what thoughts are showing up, creates space between ourselves and our thoughts, and offers the opportunity to make a change. Our thoughts and perceptions color our lives and affect how we show up in life, recognizing our thoughts invites an opportunity for change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every person is beautifully and uniquely made. Each person is worthy and deserves to live a life that is satisfying and purpose-filled -- to thrive rather than simply survive. It is my honor to walk along side and learn each person's story. I'm encouraged by Brene Brown's reminder, “You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.” Let this also be part of the work we do together -- to rediscover your worth and power. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send information using my website 'Contact Us' form to ensure confidentiality as most electronic methods are not completely secure.
