About this provider
Clients I Work With
I specialize in working with adults seeking support for acute and complex trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, long term illness, greater relationship satisfaction and power imbalances at work, home and in the larger social spheres.
Approach
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and supported by evidenced-based practices, (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), as well as the lessons to be learned from nature and ancient ways of healing and being.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
Having worked in the social work field for over 15 years, I see the many struggles with mental health and addiction as attempts to survive in a modern society that places incredible demands on us. Drawing on Buddhist psychology, harm reduction and the wisdom within you, I work with clients to move through and process life challenges by providing a nonjudgmental and empowering therapeutic space.
