Welcome About Location and Fees Contact. I started getting very interested in counseling as a profession after volunteering as a "grief buster" for the local Hospice. I completed their training in and worked with several kids who had lost a loved one with an expressive art kit and good listening skills. Around this time, I immersed myself in meditation, yoga and then later came Reiki energy work, silent retreats, art explorations and dance.
It was a time of growth and healing. This continued with the Hakomi mindful experiential therapy C omprehensive which I completed in I felt a strong affinity for the mindfulness-based somatic psychology work and assisted the training while I began my graduate studies.
I received my clinical psychology degree with a somatic emphasis in R-CS is an amazing map of the SELF as well as therapeutic model that focuses on shifting clients to their preferred expansive Self states.
I may use mindfulness, breath, and the moment-to-moment experience, to invite the adult client to deepen awareness as they gain insight working the mind-body continuum. New neural pathways emerge, connect and groove, assisting the client to consciously choose new ways of being and relating. I have worked with adults in my Hakomi practice and with adults in crisis as an intern and in my private practice.
I have extensive experience working with children some conjoint with family therapy. I have also led DUI groups for youth ages yrs. I would be honored to work with you, your friends and family.
