This positive perspective is grounded in my training in
Transpersonal
Psychology that considers the spiritual or transcendent nature inherent in people.
By picking up the phone and contacting a therapist, you've taken the hardest step: a coming to an awareness that you would like to affect change in your life. I believe in an interactive, dynamic approach where together we explore the history of an issue, it's effects and most importantly, institute a positive plan for change.

My skill set includes eclectic talk therapy (using primarily cognitive,
transpersonal
and psychodynamic methods), hypnotherapy (including age regression), thought field therapy, spiritual (not religious) counseling, philosophical therapy, dreamwork, various energy healing modalities, and a highly developed intuition.
Growth is thwarted by fear--both the known fears we can name and the hidden fears that manifest in self-defeating behaviors. As your counselor, I'll be your ally--giving you as much insight and encouragement as needed to vanquish fears and enhance personal growth. Drawing on 20 years of study and experience in the ancient, spiritual Wisdom Teachings as well as a formal education in psychology and philosophy, I am committed to helping you clear the path to a satisfying, meaningful life.

Most of my work is value-oriented and based in ecological/systems, existential, relational, behavioral, and
transpersonal
schools of thought.
My orientation towards psychology was born out of my own difficulties in life; I want to make sure that those who seek help are able to get it. That said, I do best with clients who are at their worst, rock bottom. Fear of death and existential concerns, intrusive thoughts and urges, powerful and intense emotions, chronic stress and fatigue, loss of sense of self, lack of meaning and purpose in life, not being able to tell what's real and what isn't, regardless what it is. Whatever is your breaking point is the point at which you can change your life forever, I can help you through that process. The only way out is through.

My practice is grounded in Gestalt awareness practices, feminist, existential, and
transpersonal
approaches, combined with updated research from evidence based theories to create a therapy space that centers you.
Are you overthinking, overworking, or overwhelmed? I can help. I work with individuals and couples to be present and find joy, whether you're going through a big transition, wanting to rekindle "the spark", looking to find love, trying to set boundaries, or dealing with anxiety. Using therapy as an experimental space we'll work to find your unique meaning & purpose by exploring the parts of you that feel hard to access or name- criticism, self-doubt, inadequacies, relationship struggles. Our work will also help you discover your strengths & passions. Together, we'll examine your choices and imagine a new way of being.

Are you feeling "out of sync," unmotivated, confused, lethargic, anxious, depressed? Are your relationships suffering? Your productivity at work? Your belief in yourself? When one area of your life is depleted, it can create imbalance in other areas of your life. This can include areas of emotional health, physical health, nutrition, sleep, relationships, work, money, and spirituality. My holistic approach addresses clients as a "whole" person...all aspects within yourself (biology, thoughts, feelings) and outside yourself (work, culture, relationships, finances, etc.). As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Holistic Health Coach, I facilitate your body's own natural healing process.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
