MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Come immerse yourself in the grounding experience of sparkle therapy. Here we allow our perceptual systems to take in what is before us to help us be our most immediate, vulnerable selves. We will use that focus to explore and assess thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING
Relationship counseling includes any and all relationships we have with other individuals. This can mean family relationships, friendships, romantic, and even co-working relationships. Using a unique experience in sparkle therapy, our shared perspectives can be aligned and our differences safely discussed.
ANXIETY, STRESS & TRAUMA
Anxiety is thought by some theorists to be caused by an overactive, understimulated sympathetic nervous system, that simply needs to be recalibrated to the here and now. Flooding the senses with positive and pleasant stimuli can help balance a hyperactive nervous system and achieve calmness. Traumatic experiences can be more safely worked through using narrative therapy with the help of soothing sparkle therapy.
SENSORY PROCESSING
Sparkle therapy is designed based on research-derived evidence to help us integrate our sensations and perceptions into an experience that is pleasant and comprehensible. Slowly and gradually, we will feel our way through several stages of complexity while broadening our ability to process several experiences at once.
AUTISM SPECTRUM
ATTENTION DEFICITS & HYPERACTIVITY
Similar to anxiety, attention deficits and hyperactivity are not so much disorders as they are states of being calibrated to a person's unique perception. Sparkle therapy can help adjust those perceptions through guided experiences of complex sensation.
As complex as the stimuli in sparkle therapy can be, they can also be incredibly pure and tangible. We will use these graspable stimuli to create context for joint attention, joint learning and shared experiences between you and your loved ones.
DEVELOPMENT
As a developmental psychologist, I use evidence-based practices to assess and guide social and communicative development. Through observation while engaging with the therapeutic experiences of sparkles, we can home in on emotional, communicative, or social areas needing closer attention and/or adjusting.
