I have a variety of methods I use to empower clients, including conventional Western psychotherapy techniques, such as attachment theory, behavioral and psycho-dynamic theory. I also have found equally, if not more effective, somatic Eastern traditions, such as yogic philosophy, mindfulness and breath work to help us become more peaceful and centered in our lives. To that end, I find nontraditional settings such as seeing clients out in nature, or in the privacy of their own backyard to be a very productive method for growth.
Treatment plans are always tailored to your individual needs and strengths – don’t worry – I’m not going to ‘make’ you do anything you don’t want to – it’s entirely up to what feels right to you!
I also realize that difficult tasks are best accomplished with a healthy perspective and a dash of humor. One of my favorite quotes is ‘life is too important to be taken seriously.’ So while any psycho-therapeutic endeavor might involve some deep and challenging work, it doesn’t mean that it can’t have elements of fun and joy at the same time.
In addition to seeing private clients, I also conduct well being and meditation seminars for corporations and private groups, as well as mother/daughter and women’s groups.
