ABOUT ME
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and received my Masters in Counseling from Seattle University in 1997. I am passionate about helping others connect with their whole selves and their full potential and am continually engaged in further study to ensure that I and my clients benefit from the latest developments in psychotherapy and mind-body approaches. Dedicated to the pursuit of natural healing for over 10 years, I have developed a deep appreciation and respect for the inherent connection between the mind and body. My intensive investigation into traditional and complementary approaches has inspired me to offer my clients the most successful treatments I have experienced firsthand. I have found that when combined with traditional talk therapy, Energy Psychology and/or Mind/Body-Oriented approaches enhance and accelerate healing, symptom relief, and personal growth. These therapeutic approaches offer gentle, safe and powerful methods for achieving efficient, lasting, positive change.
I have experience working with individual adults of all ages, around a variety of life challenges, in agency settings and within employee, parenting and senior wellness programs. I have received post-graduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Body-Oriented 'Focusing', Mindfulness practices, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Energy Psychology such as: Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Donna Eden's work. I have developed a style of therapy which utilizes these understandings and honors the deep, inherent connection between the mind and body, intent on helping others awaken to their whole selves and reach their full potential.
