I am an embodied psychotherapist and substance abuse counselor with over 14 years of experience. My background working with adolescents, teens and adults include an obesity prevention program, post-partum delivery, severe mental illness, and substance use disorder in adult in-patient psychiatry.
I use evidence- based, trauma- informed therapeutic approaches such as: Existential psychotherapy which emphasizes being grounded in the here and now of the moment; Motivational interviewing which explores ambivalence and resistance; and Healing processes of dance therapy which allows for relief through moving together. You will experience empathic conversation, cultural awareness and compassion.
I work with clients who may struggling with an array of issues. We will begin with a consultation to identify what you feel is something you need support with in your life. If we both feel that we are a good match, I will follow up with arranging a scheduled time, for us to begin our therapeutic relationship. We will create a treatment plan together that incorporates moving, talking and healing.
