Change is possible. A diagnosis of OCD or another anxiety disorder can be scary and confusing. It can feel like your life is defined by dread, worry, fear, and exhaustion. Much of your energy and time are likely spent trying to present to the outside world as “successful” and “having it all together”. Internally, you may feel disconnected from your core self, your innate purpose and potential, and the ability to enjoy simple moments in your life. Anxiety doesn’t have to define who you are as a human. Therapy is courageous work. I’m glad you’re here making this first step.

I believe each person has the power and knowledge within them to move towards increased wellness and healing. Due to many factors we can lose track of our best selves, feel off course and get overwhelmed. Some of these factors include trauma, chronic stress, oppression, loss, abuse, lack of healthy modeling, low self esteem, reliance on substances and self-medicating, and much more. No matter how we get off course, therapy is a powerful tool that can help us understand how we have come to this specific place in our lives, as well as help us to look at where we want to go and who we want to become moving forward.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 30 years and I very much enjoy my work. My goal is to help people with healing, and in so doing help them to live a more joyful and meaningful life. I have years of experience helping clients address and recover from many different issues. I work with emotional wounds that are often at the core of issues that clients bring to me, and with healing trauma including religious trauma. I have found that when these wounds can be addressed in a safe environment, healing can take place. I work with adults of all life stages, with adolescents, children, with individuals, families and groups.

I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. My primary research focus is transpersonal experiences and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration. My philosophy is one of organicity, meaning that every individual is gifted with an innate healing wisdom and capacity for wholeness. As a former earth scientist and current artist, I incorporate lessons from nature and creative expression in my work, and seek to help others reconnect with the more subtle rhythms of psyche as a woven thread in the generative fabric of life.

We treat symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and disorder, etc. from an intention to alleviate or change. This may bring temporary relief but it dismisses the wisdom of these internal states. When we can connect to our whole experience, we learn to be with all aspects of ourselves in a way that naturally brings a sense of aliveness to the vast experience of being human. This aliveness shows us who we are, how to be, and in what way to be of service to the world. It is a guide for meaning and beauty, showing us how to heal and remember what truly provides a sense of well being for our lives.

My ideal client is someone who is committed to exploring the benefits of counseling and ready to show up and meaningfully engage. While therapy can be challenging at times, staying stuck in old patterns is often harder. Investing in yourself may bring struggles, but it’s worth it for the growth and clarity that come. Having someone to hold space for you, offer a fresh perspective, and guide you through the process can be incredibly validating and empowering.
