About Me
​

​Hello and welcome to my unique practice, Luna Counseling. Although trained in traditional talk therapy, I also focus on creative therapies that integrate the mind, body and spirit. These include sand tray therapy, hypnotherapy and play therapy for children. Rather than staying in the analytical areas of the brain, as talk therapy traditionally functions, these creative approaches integrate other areas of the brain into treatment.

My approach is holistic, humanistic and existential, meaning I believe that people mean well and strive towards the good in life. It also means I find value in our need to honor and explore deeper life questions regarding the meaning and purpose of our lives. I believe that therapy is for everyone, struggles affect everyone, they transcend religions, race, culture, and education. As a result, I focus on life improvement and personal grown in my practice.
