Everyone needs help getting fit to lift the heavy weight of being human.
Why Work with Me as Your Counselor or Coach?
There’s enormous value in collaborating with an experienced, candid yet compassionate humanistic helper who can hold you accountable, gently encourage you to be more honest with yourself, and provide you with resources and personal support to gain clarity and insight about yourself so you can achieve your behavioral health goals.
Who Are My Clients?
I provide mental health counseling in-person (and online when necessary) through a referral process. I accept a variety of private pay arrangements, including HSA, and I accept payment through health insurance coverage.
I am happy to provide online coaching, but prefer working in person for complete mindbody support.
I enjoy working with older teens, undergraduates, and adults.
I also am an experienced couples counselor, and I often work with small groups providing somatic-focused activities and practices like yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, fascia-rolling, guided mindfulness and meditation to balance and regulate the nervous system in tandem with cognitive and behavioral therapies.
For Educators
I also offer more specialized coaching for high school teachers, providing them with relational-based support and behavioral health resources to address the range of job-related stresses unique to this helping profession, including
Compassionate Listening sessions for stress reduction.
My Approach to Helping
The interventions I use with clients depends entirely on the individual client. Each client is a unique human person with unique resources within them and within the local environments in which they live. Each client also has unique challenges, needs, expectations for growth, and behavioral health concerns and goals.
I use a holistic, integrative approach to respectfully and carefully assess and understand each client. I counsel and coach the whole person, in mind, body, and spirit. I help each client acquire and apply tools and practices most appropriate for their personal health development within the larger context of their unique life circumstances.
One primary and important resource is my own healthy nervous system. I bring calm, regulated mind-body energy to bear positively on each client, relating to each person with honest, authentic, culturally-sensitive communication methods and modes which I have honed over time through mindfulness practices and years of consistent personal wellness habits.
I collaborate with each client to establish a safe, honest and trusting relationship, assess and clearly define their behavioral health concerns, and then we set specific and achievable goals.
I empower each client with the most appropriate resources tailored for their unique and specific needs, and I help them learn and apply the information, practices, and tools to reach their specific goals.
