My life experience and background as a Therapist is somewhat eclectic and includes both traditional and alternative forms of healing.
I employ a variety of traditional therapeutic techniques from various theoretical orientations including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic, Existential, Gestalt therapy, Mindfulness and practices found in Spiritual Psychology.
The more alternative techniques I employ include Reichian Breathing, Reiki, Guided Imagery, Meditative/Contemplative Practices, and Therapeutic Hypnosis.
Research shows that the most important key to successful therapy is found in the connected, trusting relationship that develops between client and therapist. That is why, first and foremost, I seek to provide a safe, supportive and caring environment where you can experience being listened to and feel fully heard and fully understood.
Truth
The Truth is that we are not our bodies, our thoughts, our emotions or our experiences.
Instead, we are the spacious Awareness, the pristine Consciousness in which all of these appear.
Authenticity
Living a life of Authenticity, with no Self betrayal, is the greatest gift you can offer the world.
Freedom
Freedom is the ability to rest in the peace and perfection of your Being while fully meeting and facing everything that appears in life.
