My therapeutic style is integrative and holistic, drawing from various approaches to create a safe and supportive environment for exploration and healing. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance, allowing for open dialogue and trust.

Incorporating elements from my background as a hospice chaplain and former contemplative nun, I emphasize the spiritual dimension of healing, facilitating deeper connections to one's inner self and purpose. I utilize narrative therapy, EMDR, and parts work to address trauma and promote healing, while also integrating EFT Tapping and breath techniques to foster relaxation and energy balance.

I believe in the power of exploration—processing experiences, belief systems, and emotional blockages—so that we can work together to reclaim your unique inner light and beauty. My involvement in depth psychology and interfaith dialogue enriches my understanding of the human experience, allowing me to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and support your journey toward greater understanding, fulfillment and enhanced self-compassion.

Yes, I am familiar with several therapeutic modalities and treatment methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness practices. Each of these approaches offers unique strategies for addressing emotional and psychological challenges, enhancing personal growth, and promoting overall well-being. If you would like more information about any of these modalities, feel free to ask!

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, which is why I appreciate each individual's feedback regarding our meeting frequency. This choice will be influenced by the clients expressed needs and mutual availability, addressing treatment goals, ensuring stability, and taking into account other personalized considerations.
