"You may have a specific area of concern, or you may find yourself among the many people who find they have trouble describing exactly what they are looking for in counseling or that there multiple concerns seem to overlap. If you have questions about how to choose a counselor who feels right for you, and whether I might be that person, please give me a call so we can briefly discuss whether we might be a good fit. If I am not a good fit I will be happy to try to connect you with someone who may be!"

"***I am not taking new clients currently *** "To bear witness" is to listen, observe, and validate painful and/or traumatic experiences of others. It is an honor and a privilege to do this work, and a role I love! I specialize in working with trauma, addiction, codependency, and life changes. I also specialize in supporting other helpers and healers. My mission is to create a safe, non judgmental space for you to grow and achieve your goals."

"Many of our hurt areas, from the recent or distant past, can still trigger us today. Relationships wound us, so wounds are best healed through relationship. I specialize in helping you find, build, and utilize current relationships to recover from past emotional injuries, and to strengthen ways of relating so you can enrich and empower many other areas of your life. I am trained, and have many years of experience improving communication skills, from a behavioral to a deeper psychological or spiritual level. I can also provide simple relationship/communication consulting services to groups or individuals. "

"If you struggle with difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors, I offer a person centered approach with existential therapy and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) to help you to get out of your head and moving towards what really matters to you. ACT is an evidence based therapy that can help people with stress, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behavior, chronic pain, substance abuse. PTSD, addictions, eating disorders and other mental health challenges. I believe it’s important to deeply listen and try to understand what ails as we begin. My approach is trauma informed, compassionate, intuitive and practical. "

"Is it time for you to feel free from stress and anxiety? Is it time to make changes to old patterns that no longer serve you? Therapy and clinical hypnosis are transformational processes where the therapist and participant work collaboratively to achieve goals. The therapist helps the participant tap into inner resources to aid in reducing anxiety, dealing with grief and loss, increasing confidence, and resolving trauma. The expectancy of the outcome is important and both parties work together to help reach desired results."

"We meet in the midst of life happening. "Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing there is a field, will you meet me there? " Rumi. Life does not stop for us, we must make time to pause, to consider, to choose our steps, our path. My office is that "field", a place just on the edge of right and wrong, a place we meet to listen, get a different view, share at the cross-roads of diverse experiences, reflect on your perceptions of being you. I recognize the importance of a wholistic approach too healing, sharing the story, and crafting a healthy, full life. Come by for a cup of tea, let's talk. https://truecolorcounseling.com"

"My clinical background and training have led me to have a somewhat unique understanding and view of the origin and treatment of mental health issues from cause to effect and I believe that everything we do makes sense, we may just not understand why and what purpose it serves. I access a broad range of clinical techniques and theories to help bring understanding to the therapeutic process and treat the whole individual. By working with a blend of evidence based theories and techniques I help address the thoughts, feelings, behaviors and associated physiology that result in psychological distress."

"*Accepting New Clients* I believe everyone deserves a life worth living; simply because you are here you deserve a life based on your terms, needs, and desires. That said, many of us have experienced things in our lives that get in the way of us believing or realizing this. Sometimes, we simply have not been taught the skills we need or perhaps things have happened in our lives that interfere with us using those skills. I will work with you to uncover what it would mean for you to live your life worth living."

"I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1992. As one can imagine, my treatment approach has changed and evolved during that period of time. My primary goal for anyone entering my office is that they will feel a sense of calm, and feel they are entering a safe environment to share their life story and struggles without judgement. My role is to join with clients to define their needs, and discover new ways of looking at themselves and their world. I truly believe the psyche longs for healing, and buried deep within us, lies the means to do that."

"Since 2004, I have helped clients going through overwhelming stress, anxiety, fear, depression, and grief. Work stress, dysfunctional relationships, and our own negative patterns can make life seem unbearable and lonely. The compassion, warmth, and understanding of an experienced therapist can help turn things around. "
