Services
Individual Psychotherapy
In individual counseling, I attempt to provide an atmosphere where you can be authentically you. From here, we begin to see how thoughts, feelings, actions and routines impact your life. Possible treatment modalities include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR)
Mindfulness Coaching
Mindfulness has been used for over 2500 years to gain insight into the nature of reality. Using this wisdom, cultivating a mindfulness practice can help us wake up to our inner experiences, honor and recognize what they are trying to tell us in a curious and nonjudgemental way
A Bit About Therapy
Guiding You On the Path of Self-Discovery
Counseling uses the professional relationship of therapist and client to promote self awareness and agency. Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and treatment measures, my goal is to provide an atmosphere where you are able to practice life-changing habits to help them cope with any of life’s challenges.
