My clinical orientation is multicultural, integrative and experiential. Based on each individual’s unique situation, I draw on various mind and body theories and techniques in a systematic way to develop a coherent approach that will best suit the person’s specific situation. I use a strength-based, cognitive behavioral (thoughts +feelings+behaviors), nature and trauma informed , empowerment model, with an energetic and creative approach for wellness. I include elements of psycholinguistics, or the acknowledgement that the words we use and how we define them matter. Through resource and needs assessment and identification, I encourage all
clients to cultivate a variety of strategies for compassionate self-care. This approach includes physical, mental, and emotional awareness that is compatible with their particular spiritual and/or belief system(s).
