Counseling Services

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. In my work with adolescents and adults, I incorporate a holistic approach - brain-based and person-focused - that is tailored to each individual.

Most of counseling starts with a top-down approach where the focus is on building self-awareness which then offers clients the ability to choose new responses rather than succumb to rote-level reactions. Top-down methods are often cognition-heavy although when we incorporate emotional fluency and body sensation attunement, these offer great relief to clients who are feeling stuck.

Where top-down methods end or fall short, bottom-up methods can take therapy further. These are more organic approaches that work with the subconscious body-mind connection where trauma, triggers, and disorganized patterns of thinking and behavior are stored. We unlock and unravel these by inviting the more vulnerable parts of you to join us in a safe, curious, non-judgmental, compassionate, even sacred, space in order to become reintegrated (whose Latin root means to “make whole again”), resilient, and truly empowered, the very essence of Post-Traumatic Growth.

Using a blend that is based on each client’s goals, history, symptoms, strengths, and distress tolerance, we will build a collaborative partnership where you are the expert on you and I bring my extensive experience from working with many others (both neurotypical and neurodivergent) in order to curate a new, more effective way of being in the world.
