Let me help you find an authentic drive for self-healing & genuine transformation. You deserve an abundant, high-quality life, fulfilling work, and meaningful relationships. Through Integrative & Ayurvedic Counseling, Spiritual Direction, and Life Coaching, you will deepen your understanding of emotional intelligence and experience healing. Our counseling modality is an eclectic and effective combination of Depth Psychology, Jungian Analysis practices, and Mindfulness CBT. I only use religious or spiritual language and constructs if requested.
As an educational psychologist and philosophical counselor, I believe we can all learn how to live better lives. We provide Philosophical Counseling, Spiritual Direction, and Life Coaching. As a Sound Therapist, I offer the use of drums, cymbals & singing bowls as part of our therapy, meditation sessions, and overall plan of care, if requested.
I provide non-judgmental, compassionate, and affirming listening in a sacred, safe, and professional environment. We work toward your self-discovery of meaning, empowerment & freedom. We encourage mindfulness meditation as part of our comprehensive care program. Thank you for reviewing my site. Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information.

I work with clients dealing with unresolved shame, guilt, anger, and pain. My clients are seeking quality of life and authentic contentment. During our sessions, we explore areas related to childhood, life-altering experiences, and coping mechanisms that have proven ineffective and burdensome. Best practices and methods of self-regulation are provided regularly throughout all sessions.

I utilize a client-centered approach. I frame all sessions to be safe, open, and non-judgmental growth experiences. An eclectic approach to counseling examines how thoughts are grounded in feelings and how actions reflect and embody these thoughts. Exploring past experiences with psychodynamic tools provides a more thorough appreciation of how our past impacts our present & future.
