My therapy and coaching work is based on a belief that we all long to experience love, connection, purpose, and peace in our lives. Symptoms that arise such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and physical illnesses signal a call to resolve and clear what is in the way of a happier life. My work embraces a holistic paradigm recognizing body, mind, and spirit, and focuses on helping clients learn to love and care for themselves as special and unique beings. Clearing out negative beliefs, healing emotional wounds, and eliminating toxic influences help clients live more authentic and empowered lives.

I currently have openings for telehealth! Whatever you are going through, you don't have to go through it alone.

My private practice not only serves direct clients including couples, it also focuses on supervision for therapists, coaches, healthcare organizations, agencies, and companies. I am a certified sex therapist and a master of education in human sexuality. As a licensed clinical social worker, social justice, cultural humility, and empathy are woven through my psyche. I also teach for a global healing school, the 'Harvard' of schools in that realm. I help folks gain true alignment with core qualities, needs, and values that guide the transformative process toward happiness and joy.

I specialize in working with survivors of sexual trauma and folks who want to work through family of origin conflicts and relationship issues. Are you struggling to overcome the pain of childhood abuse? Did you feel alone and afraid as a child? Do you feel like your family did not understand you or support you? Do you struggle to be intimate with others and keep lasting relationships? Do you feel stuck in the past and want greater freedom in your life? My personal experiences combined with professional training have led me to help others heal their experiences of abuse and shame using a holistic trauma-informed approach.

I welcome clients who seek therapy in order to change behaviors, relationships, or careers that are unsatisfying, and those who wish to unleash their creative energies - in the arts, business, academia, in parenting, and partnership. I especially enjoy clients who are questioning their relationship with addictive substances and are ready to take positive action. I have a warm and engaging style that my cients enjoy. I also specialize in healing the trauma of equestrian accidents.

I use an eclectic approach and work with all ages with all kinds of problems. I have been a psychotherapist for over 35 years, and my approach has developed over time. I believe that everyone is different and responds to different forms of treatment. I enjoy working with anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and how to deal with their problems, whether in their families, their work, or their relationships.

I believe in empowering clients to make healthy choices, learn skills to overcome anxiety, and fears and create positive relationships. I use EMDR and Brainspotting to assist in the healing process, work through depression, and make fundamental changes for a greater sense of calm and well being.

I work with individual adults, both men and women. Clients looking for new discoveries about themselves and seeking tools for change are a sampling of client needs that I work with. Clients will achieve greater clarity, as well as self- acceptance in our work together. I believe that we all have our own "inner healer," and I help individuals find this voice of truth inside themselves. Learning to trust this voice empowers clients to make decisions and choices that are right and true for them. Learning to release old behaviors that no longer serve creates healthy self-worth. I am happy to work by telehealth; location is not an issue.

Sometimes we find ourselves closed off, disconnected, in a state of hurt and protection,confused or being overly critical of ourselves. This can affect our lives in many ways; as lack of self-confidence, blame, isolation, unhealthy relationships, anger, resignation or addictions. I want to help you develop the tools and find your inner resources to have peace in your life and heal past hurt. Healing can happen when we find safety within ourselves and with another person. This is what counseling provides and what I offer you: a safe non judgmental space to be yourself freely.

In a time of unraveling as teachers, healers, visionaries, and activist-warriors, you are at the forefront of addressing some of the greatest needs of our time. You have been working relentlessly to make a difference in the lives of those in your community because you believe in a future where humans can live more in balance with earth and the more than human world. But you get tired of carrying this weight. You want and need someone who understands both the passion and pain of pursuing your higher vision. You long for a place where you are able to replenish and resource in order to have the energy and ability to continue your work.

What changes do you want in your life? What's not working anymore? With my down-to-earth optimism and focus on self-care, I help you realize practical solutions that are authentic and heartfelt. I integrate various therapeutic modalities based on your needs, drawing largely from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness and neurobiological perspectives.

I welcome your interest in seeking therapy! I offer art therapy and talk therapy, and have been a therapist for 29 years. I'm so passionate about the healing potential within the connection of a therapeutic relationship that I chaired the Art Therapy/Counseling Program at Southwestern College for many years where I taught and supervised new therapists. I've written 3 books and speak internationally because I love sharing what I've learned over the years about the value of the therapeutic process. I believe that my clients are the experts on themselves and I provide a warm, safe place to explore hard issues and move toward joy.

Coming to therapy is an act of self-love. Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do is the most rewarding endeavor, bringing authenticity, creativity, and choice into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world were formed in infancy and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of our actions in the present time. I am passionate about exploring with you old patterns that do not serve you anymore. I support you in cultivating conscious life-affirming choices and self-caring responses to the inevitable challenging and painful events of life.

I enjoy supporting adults with self-discovery, increasing self-worth and creating more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in the treatment of sexuality, including sexual trauma, sexual compulsion, sexual difficulties, improving intimacy and enhancing sexual pleasure. I have extensive experience working with PTSD and trauma related symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, flashbacks and shame.

Many times in our lives we are driven by the pain of past events which can sometimes lead us to feel and believe that we have lost our way. Yet, the truth is that we can live within a new paradigm! How are you showing up for yourself today? I have worked with youth and adults in a variety of capacities as well as prenatal and postnatal care. Much of my experience has been working alongside those who are faced with issues of anger, general and acute stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have a deep understanding of the nuances of trauma and generational trauma & sociocultural contexts and constructs (racism, sexism, xenophobia).

For each of us, life is not without change, loss, transition, even trauma, and the emotional difficulties that result. And we heal and transform by way of supportive connection, internally, environmentally, and relationally. I am inspired by the subtle ways in which providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space allows for a client’s inner wisdom, insights, and empowerment to emerge and for life’s transitions to be eased. I work to provide a sanctuary to process, be witnessed in, and build helpful skills for dealing with loss & grief, transition, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and trauma.

My work with clients is based on the holistic, transformational model of therapy. In my practice, I integrate the power of the heart through mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I believe in meeting my clients where they are to support and empower them to find solutions to life’s current challenges. By assisting my client’s in raising their awareness; they can make meaningful changes in order to have a more healthy, peaceful, joyful, and authentic life. When you are ready for changes in your life, I am ready to assist you in making those changes.
