NEW APPROACHES THERAPY

I have worked extensively with people from different cultures, economic situations, and mental health needs. It is my goal to provide an accepting and safe place to help guide you through your process in your own unique way. I am dedicated to the development of human potential and will assist you in increasing self-awareness, self-healing, emotional/spiritual growth, and behavior change. My approach to counseling is collaborative as I see myself as a support along your personal journey. I find great value in meditation and mindfulness practices as well as include EMDR in my work.

My goal is to create a growth promoting climate and support you to overcome the struggles that you are facing in your life and in your relationships.
