An Integrated Approach

In every session, I tap deep into the roots of my training and experience as a depth psychotherapist, trauma specialist, meditation practitioner and mentor, and transformational coach. My education includes not only an MA in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University, but continuing study in neuroscience and leading-edge therapies like EMDR, Depth Hypnosis, somatic-based modalities, and energy medicine. I am also trained to support those who have had powerful spiritually transformative experiences—like near death, non-ordinary states of spiritual emergence, kundalini activation, and plant medicine journeys—to integrate and embody the profound awakening to consciousness that often accompanies these life-changing processes. It is my great joy to work with those who are committed to the deeper soul work that is always at the heart of the healing journey.

Many life situations and struggles may bring us into therapy. Our challenges are often rooted in the ways our early lives as children leave us feeling unsafe in the world, lacking self-worth, or that we are ‘bad’ or ‘undeserving’ in some way. These inner experiences are often hidden below our conscious awareness, yet they play out throughout our life. Limiting beliefs may come from lack of nurturance or emotional attunement, being left alone to ‘cry it out’, or more obvious neglect and abuse. The good news is we can change these old beliefs and patterns to renew how we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us. As we trace and transform the roots of our life struggles, our hearts open to the realization that there is infinite love and connection available for us to embrace and embody.

My body/mind-oriented approach may include ‘hands on’ work when needed. Gentle and supportive touch may help heal early traumas by regulating the nervous system, while supporting connection and organization. Your safety and personal authority are always first and foremost as we seek to open pathways to the rediscovery of your authentic self, inner vitality, and unique expression in the world.

There are many ways we can work together in a coaching relationship. You may feel ready to manifest a long-time dream but are afraid of getting out of your comfort zone. Or you sense the part of yourself that is seeking expression in the world or wants to make a positive impact, but don’t know what path to pursue. Or maybe life is going pretty well but you just need a ‘tune-up’ around a particular issue. All these are great reasons to reach out to me to explore how we can take advantage of transformational technologies to catalyze positive change.

Contemplative practices like yoga and meditation are also powerful vehicles for transformation and thus can bring up strong and unexpected emotions, body sensations, and mental states. My professional training in contemplative science and my personal experience as a long-time student of various contemplative practices can support you in developing or sustaining your own practice, whatever the wisdom tradition, while helping you to navigate the inevitable ups and downs of the spiritual journey.
