My Approach to Helping
As a transpersonal psychotherapist, I hold a strength-based and non-pathological approach to the heartful, mindfulness-based work that I do with my clients. I believe that all people, regardless of experience and regardless of the amount of suffering, have the innate and inherent potential to grow and heal. In my work with clients, I may use a variety of my many trainings or just one, depending on what you and I feel would be most helpful. In addition to my Graduate studies at Naropa University, I am also a Graduate of the two year training in the mindfulness-based, body-centered form of Hakomi Psychotherapy (www.hakomi.org) which I believe is the most effective and sensible approach to psychotherapy that I have experienced. Additionally, I am a trained Gestalt psychotherapist. (www.gestaltoftherockies). As a Registered and Board-Certifed Art Therapist I believe very much in the ways that line, shape, color and texture are a language of healing for both people who are familiar with art and for those who have not picked-up an art supply since they were children.(www.arttherapy.org). In all of these techniques, I work from a heartful, client-centered, mindfulness approach that embraces your wisdom and life experiences. Although I have extensive training and expertise, I believe that therapy is most helpful when you and I are in it together. I believe in a term called "assisted self discovery" whereby I help you to access your ability to know yourself well so that you may transform and grow in the context of a safe and spacious therapeutic environment. I hold deep presence and compassion for my clients and learn a great deal from each client that walks through my door. I truly believe in and love my work which I believe contributes enormously to the progress that my clients make both in the therapy office and out in their worlds. It is my hope that you as a person seeking a therapist will find the best match for who you are and for your specific needs and I encourage all potential clients to take time to interview potential therapists. Because I believe that this can best happen in person, I offer a free initial consultation so that we may meet in person, get to know one another a bit and give you the opportunity to interview me in order to see if working together is the best match for you. Please feel free to contact me and I look forward to meeting you! If not, it is my prayer that you find a wonderful therapist with whom to grow and heal.
