DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL PRACTICE
I work with my clients in an engaged, proactive, and warm manner that helps see through the limiting beliefs that cause suffering and what is possible when they shift. I work with young adults, adults, couples, and families to help bring conscious awareness to struggle, to access increased ease and joy with tools and resources one already has but may not be aware of, as well as new ones, with a warmth and compassion towards what is.
VIPASSANA/MEDITATION BACKGROUND
Meditation practitioner for 15+ years, including several long retreats of one to three months, and shorter 7 - 10 day retreats as well. I am especially drawn to the teachings of Adyashanti and other non-dual teachers, and I am deeply grateful for how open and free I am from deeply engaging and tuning into presence.
RELEVANT CLINICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE
Extensive training in EMDR, Gestalt practices, trauma/PTSD, EFT, Non-Violent Communication, Hakomi, and other body-oriented therapies. I weave these together with mindfulness practices, the tools of cognitive-behavioral work, and an overall existential/humanistic lens. I also have some relevant training and experience with earth-based practices of the Native American traditions.
