Do you feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of what to do? Maybe you seek to figure out what you can do about the things interfering with your life, goals, and relationships. The problem is the problem; you are not. Perhaps you yearn to be more resilient, to adapt, and to grow. You may not know your strengths. There may be other ways to see and approach things that will give you a greater sense of your own capacity for change. Come find out. I have a great deal of experience supporting college-age clients, those in the LGBTQIA community, and people at turning points in their lives.
The stories we tell ourselves matter. Sometimes they need to change. If your past intrudes on your present, trying EMDR may free you from that. Or, you could choose to learn new skills for dealing with things. I offer a safe, creative space for addressing whatever holds you back. To protect your privacy, I don't use AI to record sessions or to take notes.
I have a passion for supporting people's efforts to gain resilience, connect better with others, and find freedom from past hurts and old patterns. I also enjoy reading, biking, kayaking, visiting state parks, playing tai chi, and amusing my pets.
