I believe in creating a safe and relaxing atmosphere within my counseling relationship, so individuals can feel safe to explore their inner thoughts and feelings. I value each individual's unique strengths and creativity while respecting all unique cultural and sexual differences.
I assist and guide individuals towards transforming personal development through experiential approaches, such as, meditation, visual imagery, relaxation exercises, breathing techniques, mindfulness, energy work, chakra cleansing, and hypnotherapy. My approach draws on a variety of theoretical orientations (Humanistic, Mindfulness, Eastern Philosophy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic) that best fit the individual or group. I also provide nonexperiential approaches to match your needs.
I provide individual, couples, and group counseling services for children, pre-teens, adolescents, young adults, and adults.
MEDITATION GROUP:
Join us to explore the art and practice of meditation. Each session includes instruction, experiential practice, and the opportunity to process your experience in the group. The group is facilitated by an experienced meditation practitioner. Some topics that will be explored include concentrative meditation versus mindfulness meditation, mindfulness-based stress-reduction techniques, sitting meditation, breathing meditation, relaxation, guided imagery, visualizations, and manifestations. Learn how to establish a personal meditation practice. The benefits of meditation include improved focus, concentration, heightened creativity, increased empathy, stress-relief, the ability to be more “present” in your life, more energy, and much more. No experience is needed. Come as you are! J

Grief and Loss:
If you are interested in participating in a grief and loss group, which focuses on individuals that have lost a loved one or someone close to them, please contact us. The meta goal for the group is to transform the grief and loss into peace and love. It does not matter when the loss occurred. It is an open group and I am currently providing initial consults for new members. If you are interested in joining the group, please call and schedule an initial consult with me. Space is limited. Price for the group is to be determined and there are some sliding scale spots available.
