How do you describe your counseling style?
I practice a style of therapy that places front-and-center the natural processes of the body, breath, and senses to hold us in our healing, to ensure a deeper, lasting impact on nervous systems regulation. As a trained meditative breathwork and yoga teacher, I draw from an integrative, holistic view of therapy that holds the mind-body connection at its core. I prioritize relational attunement to create a gentle, warm and sanctuary-type of relationship that makes way for true collaboration. Together, we will process unpleasant feelings and belief systems to be better equipped to open up to new possibilities.
What kind of clients do you work best with?
I work best with searchers–open-minded, curious seekers looking to explore a path toward greater self-commitment and embodied self-awareness, so they might more easily move. The work I love to offer intends to sharpen your inner clarity, so that you may answer questions for yourself that might have once appeared unanswerable on your own. I’m passionate about working with trauma, relationship, and multicultural issues, and supporting clients in boundaries, increasing their self-esteem, and finding a strong sense of resourcing within themselves.
What books have made the biggest impact on your life?
I loved “What My Bones Know” by Stephanie Foo–it’s an inspiring, grounded memoir about C-PTSD and trauma that weaves in depth, humor in her healing journey. The style of writing in “The Border of Paradise” by Esmé Weijun Wang is hauntingly gorgeous and enlightening. Also, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” by Milan Kundera was great during quite as transitional time.
