My practice helps individual adults and older adults closely study their lives so they can make effective and meaningful change. I blend the graduate education I received at Naropa University in transpersonal counseling with the post-graduate trainings I have focused on in Hakomi and IFS. I hold the view that my clients' problems and pain, no matter how distressing and debilitating, stand to be their greatest teachers. I choose to see the potential and not pathology in the people I serve. I respectfully meet my clients at their door so that we may embark on this journey of unfolding together.
I draw from my skill and training in talk therapy, CBT, Hakomi, Internal Family Systems, and expressive therapies and to offer sessions we co-create together. I have a breadth of experience working with: grief and loss, anxiety, mood/behavior disorders, domestic violence, at-risk/adjudicated teens, and chronically mentally ill adults and older adults.
Your first visit with me is free, so you can explore with no strings attached whether our working together is a good fit. I qualify as an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans. I provide a limited number of sliding-scale spots.
