About My Clients

My ideal clients feels called toward deeper self-understanding, meaning, purpose, or personal transformation. They are: Navigating a major life transition, identity shift, spiritual awakening, or existential question. Recovering from trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or chronic pain, while wanting to understand the deeper story beneath the symptoms. Integrating profound experiences (meditation, spiritual practices, psychedelic experiences). Seeking whole person healing.

My Background and Approach

I utilize techniques from the following theories, modalities and psychotherapies: Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Existential- Humanistic Psychotherapy, Person- Centered Therapy, Process-Relational Based Therapy, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness and Meditation, Dreamwork, Guided Imagery, Somatic Experiencing, Compassionate Inquiry, Jungian Analysis, EMDR, CBT, MBSR. I am sensitive to the interrelatedness of mind, body, and spirit and approach my clients holistically; in other words, as bio-psycho-social-spiritual beings—several theoretical perspectives are integrated and adapted to meet each client’s unique needs, desires, and values. I also have deep reverence and respect for our innate healing intelligence and embrace the archetype of the inner healer. I tend to my clients with radical empathy, non-judgment, and compassion, and strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where their process of individuation can unfold, and trust in their unique gifts is restored.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My approach is intuitive, integrative, collaborative, heart-centered, culturally-sensitive, practical, and trauma-informed, and is guided by process philosophy, transpersonal science, psychedelic science, and ecopsychological perspectives. I view each client as unique, dynamic, and worthy of support, understanding, and love, and counseling as a collaborative process where the counselor and the client go on a journey together; at the peak of the experience, both are transformed. My interests include the healing potential of ecotherapy and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I’m especially interested in sublime and awe-inducing experiences that catalyze Holotropic States, spiritual and mystical experiences, and emotional shifts that foster insight, well-being, and a deeper connection to oneself, others, and the natural world. I am dedicated to the healing of energetic wounds and the transformation of consciousness.
