One of my gifts is being able to see a person’s light even when they cannot see it themselves. If you find yourself blocked from your own inner-wisdom and light, I’m here to help. I am a guide for exploring the inner wilderness, reflecting light into the dark places. I profoundly believe in the wisdom of the body, the healing power of the wilderness, and moving through feelings to touch into what we truly want in life. I have a background in wilderness therapy, bilingual social justice counseling, eating disorder treatment, conscious embodiment, and women’s empowerment. I currently offer virtual and nature-based sessions. I also facilitate groups and retreats focused on connection to self, others, and the world.

I look forward to connecting with your light!

Hello! I'm a professional counselor specializing in a Narrative approach to address a wide range of emotional, relational, and behavioral issues. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and walks of life. Are you ready to love your story?

My goal is to help clients feel safe and supported to explore areas in their life that need attention. With compassion and understanding, clients learn to address fears, pain, and hurt. With experience and training, I help clients feel more skilled and empowered to create change in their life. Couples, young adults, and personal growth are a few of my specialty areas.

Couples feel more equipped in navigating challenges and conflicts safely, authentically, and successfully. Couples also gain more skills and resources in deepen levels of intimacy, closeness, and connection.

Young adults feel more confident in handling life stressors and difficult situations. Also, young adults learn new skills and ways of relating to create more overall success in their lives, relationships, and personal well-being.

My approach to therapy is a combination of talk therapy and body movement work. I provide a strengths-based and motivational interviewing approach, believing that the individual holds the answers and power regarding one’s own life. Together, we uncover the strength within by discovering what already exists but is underdeveloped. By adding the modality of body movement to coincide with an emotional concern, a client can both physically and emotionally feel a change. Being intellectually, emotionally and physically stimulated within a counseling session creates an atmosphere for greater change both inside and out. My emphasis is in work with adolescents, GLBT, depression, low self-esteem, anger and more. Please contact me through my website at www.templecounseling.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
