Clients I Work With

I’m an existential-integrative therapist trained in providing trauma-informed care and work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment-related challenges to life transitions, grief, chronic pain, and PTSD. I am also passionate about working with individuals navigating Holotropic States, non-ordinary experiences, spiritual emergencies and existential distress. My training includes, but is not limited to, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Training Narrative Therapy (STAIR), and Psychedelic- Integration Therapy.

Approach

My approach is intuitive, integrative, collaborative, heart-centered, culturally-sensitive, practical, and trauma-informed, and is guided by process philosophy, transpersonal science, psychedelic science, and ecopsychological perspectives. I view each client as unique, dynamic, and worthy of support, understanding, and love, and counseling as a collaborative process. I utilize techniques from the following theories, modalities and psychotherapies: Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Existential- Humanistic Psychotherapy, Person- Centered Therapy, Process-Relational Based Therapy, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness and Meditation, Dreamwork, Guided Imagery, Somatic Experiencing, Compassionate Inquiry, Jungian Analysis, Positive Psychology, Ecotherapy, Logotherapy, Bibliotherapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Adlerian Therapy.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I am sensitive to the interrelatedness of mind, body, and spirit and approach my clients holistically; in other words, as bio-psycho-social-spiritual beings—several theoretical perspectives are integrated and adapted to meet each client’s unique needs, desires, and values. I also have deep reverence and respect for our innate healing intelligence and embrace the archetype of the inner healer. My interests include the healing potential of ecotherapy and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I’m especially interested in sublime and awe-inducing experiences that catalyze Holotropic States, spiritual and mystical experiences, and emotional shifts that foster insight, well-being, and a deeper connection to oneself, others, and the natural world. I am dedicated to the healing of energetic wounds and the transformation of consciousness.

More About My Practice

At Earthrise Counseling, all prospective clients receive intake paperwork and self-report questionnaires that must be completed prior to scheduling their Initial Evaluation session. Once documentation is complete, clients are scheduled for an Initial Evaluation session (70-90 Mins) where intake forms and questionnaires are reviewed, a biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment is conducted, and treatment goals are defined. Following the Initial Evaluation, counseling sessions (50 Mins) are then conducted on a weekly to bi-monthly basis as indicated.
