About me
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice, I enjoy helping people come to a deeper understanding of how emotion plays a major part in how they experience life. I work with my patients to help them find a way to accept their emotions and increase their enjoyment of living and find a sense of satisfaction and peace.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice, I enjoy helping people come to a deeper understanding of how emotion plays a major part in how they experience life. I work with my patients to help them find a way to accept their emotions and increase their enjoyment of living and find a sense of satisfaction and peace.
I practice Body Centered Psychotherapy which is a talk-based cousin of Gestalt therapy that seeks to address the causes of unproductive or problematic behavior as opposed to attempting to change behavior directly (unless behavior is overtly abusive or destructive in nature). Undesirable or unproductive behaviors are seen as either 1) a defense mechanism that is used to avoid re-experiencing trauma or to avoid distressing feelings or 2) a means of getting our needs met in a way that wasn't allowed in our childhoods. Since trauma and feelings are held and experienced in the physical body, the body itself is seen as providing the road map for healing. The feelings coming from our body are trusted and respected as being reliable messages coming from our own spirit which guide us toward wholeness and health.
