As an Integrative Mental Health Provider I incorporate mind-body techniques and creative expression into treatment to promote total wellness. My dynamic heart-centered approach is holistic, strength-based, LGBTQIA+ friendly and culturally sensitive. I am a Registered Dance Movement Therapist, Licensed Creative Arts Therapist , Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Integrative Medicine Mental Health Provider with over 30 years experience in Behavioral Health.
My clinical approach is tailored to respect the unique needs of each client.I partner with you to determine the best approach to achieve your healing outcome. Treatment methods are pragmatic, solution focused, and guided by insight. My cross-training across modalities (verbal psychotherapy, family therapy, group work experiential action methods, arts therapy, energy work, and hypnotherapy) enables me to foster a journey of mutual discovery toward maximum healing and life balance.. Nutritional guidance, movement, art and narrative therapy may supplement traditional modalities.
Individuals, couples and families can expect treatment that is compassionate, trauma-informed, and life affirming. Clients feel validated and challenged to go beyond defensive patterns and embrace new perspectives as we co-create a plan that affirms them and offers relief from difficult emotional challenges. You should leave treatment with an expanded sense of yourself, better regulated, with the tools to maintain your gains and continue to live your most empowered life. No matter how broken you may think you are, with proper guidance you can improve your life and regain the sense of joy that is your birthright.
