My Beliefs
You are just as important as everybody else
People-pleasing and perfectionism stand in the way of fulfilling dreams
Feeling is as important as thinking
Intuition is here to guide us
We can work cooperatively with others to achieve our goals
Negative beliefs squelch authentic self
Negative beliefs and emotion constellations form from traumatic experiences and take the place of authentic self
Not all trauma is "T" trauma
Being out of touch with who we are authentically is a source of depression, anxiety, and anger
Realignment with our truth is empowering and inspiring!
My Approach to Psychotherapy
I work with children, teens, & families. My approach to therapy is integrative. I integrate redecision therapy, gestalt therapy, play therapy, expressive arts, and sand tray therapy to help children, teens, and their families grieve, heal, and grow.
My belief is that when we are connected with our authentic, true self, we see the beauty and wonder in ourselves and others. Then, we are willing to feel, think, and problem-solve cooperatively — despite our differences.
