Providing Holistic Mental Health Care for Children, Adolescents, and Adults

Hello and Namaste!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician who has been actively working in the mental health field for nearly twenty years. Through my work I am blessed to help guide individuals on their journey to improved mental health and overall wellness. In doing so I have gained knowledge and experience in working with people with a multitude of different mental health diagnoses, including trauma issues (involving grief, loss, and abuse), anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, substance use, difficulties with attention and focus, and strained adjustment to life changes. While I treat individuals of all ages, most of my current work involves adolescents and adults in their 20’s through 50’s.

Therapeutic Philosophy

Holistic Treatment

I believe in treating the whole person, also known as a holistic approach, and so my therapeutic practices involve the body, mind, and spirit of my clients. I view each of my clients not as a “problem” or diagnosis, but rather as a person with goals who is looking to make his/her/their life better in some way. Things like nutrition, activity level, and sleep are addressed on a routine basis to help determine correlations between physical and mental health. The expressive arts (including journaling, music, and other arts forms) are used to expand upon traditional talk therapy. This allows for a combination of empathic listening and client self-expression to foster the process of self-discovery and understanding. Many of my clients also find spiritual beliefs and mindfulness practices are essential to gaining insight, and we frequently blend these into therapy as well.

Evidence and Strength

Believing that it is imperative to find a balance of science, expression, and compassion in treatment, I also practice from an evidence-based best practices modality. This means that I highly respect and stay informed of current research that indicates the best outcome for my client and his/her/their support system, and I tailor treatment accordingly. Additionally I treat from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on client and support system strengths, and developing ways to foster these strengths to achieve client goals.

At all times I strive to create a safe and supportive environment in which compassion and empathy pave a path for growth and healing
