To tell you the truth, I’m a bit of a one-trick pony; I eat, sleep, and breathe all things mental health and personal development. When I’m not working with clients, I’m teaching graduate students in the mental health field; supervising new therapists; expanding my own knowledge base; facilitating courses, workshops, and retreats; or writing for Psychology Today in my blog called Mindfully Present, Fully Alive: Simple Approaches to Life’s Complexities.
Nothing excites me more than supporting people in fulfilling their potential. I’m trained to operate within traditional models of psychology and also draw from a variety of other sources in my process of providing that support. I regularly incorporate concepts from Buddhism, Taoism, shamanism, and diverse healing traditions to address not only the psychological and emotional aspects of my clients’ lives, but the spiritual, communal, and ancestral dimensions as well. My core commitment is to honor the uniqueness of everyone I work with, allowing the process to take shape according to each individual’s goals, needs, and preferences.
