If you are looking for an eclectic therapist who truly listens with an open mind, creates meaningful dialogue with the intention of self exploration and has a large ‘toolbox’ with evidence-based resources, then I would be honored to be considered. Over the years I have discovered true emotional healing and a holistic view of Self come from creating bridges between the Mind (thoughts and habits), Body (feelings and intuitions) and Spirit (a person’s connection with something greater than themselves by Whatever Name). I feel the intentional life lived along with over15 years of therapeutic experience and 18 years as an ordained Interfaith Minister provides a well rounded background to guide Clients into a true balance of Mind, Body and Spirit. As a Pastoral Counselor and student of non-traditional spiritual wisdom from ancient and indigenous teachings to New Age or Thought practices, we can integrate your own spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process as needed or desired. The primary Therapeutic model I use is Internal Family Systems (IFS) and because of the extensive training received, I am considered an IFS Informed Therapist by the IFS Institute. Other primarytherapeutic tools used are, Mindfulness, Focusing, CBT, and Mindful Parenting.
