I believe that every individual inherently holds many strengths as well as the ability to unblock barriers that hold one back from the lived experience of health and wholeness. I seek to support a journey of healing through a collaborative relationship with the individuals, couples and families I work with. A therapeutic relationship that includes trust, understanding and acceptance are the foundation of my values as a therapist. My approach is to be attentive to the wants and needs of my clients and only employ supportive approaches and techniques after discussion of clients comfort and willingness.
I work passionately to support individuals and families on their path of healing and personal growth. With a professional history as a Family Wellness Counselor and Master Wilderness Field Guide in wilderness therapy, a Counselor with a home transitions program, and Life Coach in private practice, I bring a broad experience of meeting clients where they are at in their process of healing and connection. In this process family dynamics heal with the learning and appropriate application of communication skills and developmental concepts.
As a Speaker and Trainer, I offer the teachings and skills I have gathered throughout my extensive career in various treatment settings. Past trainings and offerings have included a focus on: trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, family systems, diverse populations, sexuality, communication, relationships, development, the mind-body connection, and the impacts of nutrition, sleep, and exercise.
