My approach

Improving a sense of well-being is a holistic approach, honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and ancestral roots. When you become more accepting of yourself, your thoughts, emotions, and actions you can make better choices more aligned with your wants and needs.

In regards to traditional psychotherapeutic approaches, I utilize several modalities including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Psychodrama, Modern Psychoanalysis, Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT level 1), and Group therapy.

I also have trained in mindfulness-based somatic therapies, as well as have completed massage, grief movement and yoga certificates.

I abide by my profession’s ethics and values including the Social Work values of Social Justice and the Dignity and Worth of each Person. With that in mind, I practice from an anti-oppression framework that honors an individual's identity and background, and recognizes the impact of current and historical oppression that affects an individual’s sense of well-being and empowerment today.
