About My Clients
My clients tend to have a wonderful sense of humor. This is tough work when you are genuine and laughter really helps. I like to educate my clients and give things to practice or take note of during the week. When we actively experiment and take note of the results we can learn, grow, and find peace. My specialties include working with ADHD, Anxiety, ASD (high functioning), Coming-of-Age, Depression, Psychosis, Relationship challenges, Trauma, and Grief.
My Background and Approach
I have a relaxed and conversational approach where I aim to help you make the changes you want to see. I strive to inform, empower, and build self-acceptance. I draw upon my professional experience and formal education, along with my years of practice and study of Buddhist philosophy and Ayurveda; including 6 years living in a Buddhist gompa. My goal is to help you understand more about yourself, your mind, your emotions, your relationships, and the situations in your life while working to apply practical psychological concepts with your own intelligence and mastery. In clinical language, I say that I use a person-centered approach and utilize various theoretical lenses that are grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people focus on making the changes they want to see. I like to educate people about the human mind and help them find the coping skills that work for them, so they can have more agency in finding their own balance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
These days my life is very much family-focused, with recharges through nature and music. I am an avid advocate and I often participate in events and protests that promote freedom, autonomy, and equality for all. I believe that it is an essential part of citizenship and I will never stop working towards a society that condemns corruption and supports its people before all other interests.
