What's the difference between you & a talk therapist/counselor?
I will not be focusing on your past history, but instead on building skills for your mindfulness of the present moment & what's going on in your body (sensation, posture, breath) as a way to create tools for you in your day-to-day life.
Will you be diagnosing me?
I am trained to diagnose, but diagnosing is a part of a medical model that I have made great strides to move away from. I will be interested in any diagnosis you may have received, but that's not how I conceptualize how to support someone in their well-being.
If you're trained as a psychotherapist, why are you not offering psychotherapy?
I have offered psychotherapy (in Boulder, CO) for many years, but have found that when I free myself up from that label, I can bring many of the other things I've studied into my sessions.
Do you take insurance?
No, taking insurance requires working within the medical model, which is not ideal for the type of processes I offer to clients. For insurance to cover mental health services, you'd have a diagnosis added to your medical records.
Is this bodywork or energy work like Reiki or massage?
No, I am trained in Reiki, but I do not offer hands-on bodywork.
Why do you require a minimum # of sessions?
Session minimums are chosen based on how many sessions I feel the client needs to actually see progress. Also, a set # of sessions helps focus the work for me & for you.
Can't I just learn these techniques on TikTok or a meditation app?
You can if you'd like to randomly choose things and hope they work or you can invest your time, energy & money & receive personal connection...personal connection & relationship are essential to healing.
I've tried a lot of things, why is this different?
I make no promises, but I've helped many clients over the years who are coming to me after seeing other practitioners. Also, I am likely to recommend complimentary modalities I think might support you.
I have a hard time connecting with my body & I'm afraid of what I might find there. If I do this work, will I relive or find trauma?
I am highly trained to work with anything that may surface in a session. This work moves at the pace of your body. We do not force anything in sessions.
Why do you offer Astrology?
Astrology was my first vehicle to help people know themselves better & it can be an incredible short-cut to getting to the heart of a matter. I'm a very skilled astrologer & I do not engage in predictive astrology. Astrology can be included in any pathway, but can simply be for my information if you don't want to explore it.
Can I see you online?
I do not offer the pathways online at this time. I do offer Astrology online.
