I place value in providing a safe, open, nonjudgemental, supportive space that encourages individuals to find their inner strengths, self-acceptance and build new skills necessary for healing and coping with future challenges and building resilience. Telling your story is an important part of healing. I look forward to listening and finding a place of wellness, self-acceptance & healing. I work with diverse clients of all ages experiencing various mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, relationship issues, and more. I also have a passion for working with children and teens.
My passion for helping find wellness inspires me to stay informed and competent in treatment. As a therapist, I am here to provide guidance and help you reconnect with your emotional wisdom by utilizing approaches that meet your unique needs. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered and Mindful Meditation.
Through the utilization of play, movement, music, and art in therapy sessions, I am able to support youth of all ages. Please visit www.pauhanacounseling.com for more information or to schedule an appointment.
