Warmest welcome to you! I'm a strengths-based therapist with over 20 years of diverse clinical experience. My K9 co-therapist Sicily has over 30 dog years of service in schools and care centers. The counseling and support I provide offers connection, partnership and guidance in discovering and doing what it takes to find solutions, move forward and live fully. Together we will successfully and mindfully navigate the challenges and changes you’re facing. Imagine shifting patterns, moving obstacles, changing behaviors, creating awesomeness and finding peace. You'll discover you're the expert on yourself, your life and your situation.
I happily accept referrals for adolescents and adults of all ages. My specialty is empowering humans- offering support in managing stress, increasing wellness, embracing change and strengthening relationships. Sicily’s specialties are unconditional love, hypoallergenic snuggles & unlimited tail-wagging. She can attend sessions at your request.
Whatever brings you in, I invite you to an accepting and safe place to explore and see the power within you. And if you have no idea, we'll figure it out together, focusing on your strengths and trusting your inner wisdom. I work from a variety of therapeutic frameworks, finding what fits best for you. You will be heard and honored in your process.
