Through therapy with me, you can expect a transformative and agenda-free space in which to explore, discover, grow and empower yourself. My approach to therapy is broad and inclusive. I have specific training in relationship counseling, depth (Jungian) psychology, and trauma healing. I often work with dreams, which can be extremely helpful "guides" in the therapeutic process. I also draw from somatic (body-based) and cognitive behavioral techniques. However, far more important than any particular modality or technique is what arises in the present moment interaction between you and me.

I recognize and acknowledge that this can be a difficult time, and I am here to support you regardless of where you are in your journey.

These days our lives are increasingly complex and hard to navigate. We often feel unequipped and overwhelmed in dealing with life's stressors and expectations. We feel defeated by our self-judgments, immobilized by fear, or debilitated by loss and grief. We feel lonely and disconnected. It's hard to find the support we really need. This is where I can help. I realize the deep yearning we all have as humans to be seen, heard, and understood. I want to support you- to understand you and your experience as I realize this is foundational for true therapeutic work.

A moment of deeply connecting with oneself through an embodied experience can allow for spontaneous change, and eliminate the need for constant seeking of new insight or retelling of the story. I listen to both your words and body with deep respect and sensitivity. I accept you as you are. I will help you gather your resources and embody self-compassion and strength, which will enable you to slowly and gently process pain, stress, and trauma. Through our work together, you will experience being able to lovingly soothe the pain, instead of going towards addictive processes or substances.

Therapy is an organic process that gives support and guidance. Our experiences and beliefs about ourselves and the world create emotional holding patterns of behavior. When we face these with compassion for ourselves, we become freer and more peaceful. Self compassion is a key piece of moving into deeper self connection and self acceptance. If this kind of self intimacy interests you, please contact me to begin.

I am a Solution Focused Therapist working with individuals and couples. I have been in practice for 28 years. In my Solution Focused approach, a person looks at the issues/areas of life that need to be changed, and what habits, behaviors, actions and choices keep perpetuating these issues in your life or relationships. We look at when these issues are resolved, what will be different? What will you notice now that these issues are no longer on the emotional property of your life? What will others notice? What has stopped you in the past?

My approach to therapy encompasses the whole person: body, mind, spirit, community, culture, ancestors, and relationship to place. I believe in the innate wisdom in each person, and I seek to provide a safe container and gentle guidance to allow that wisdom to emerge and guide the healing journey. I work primarily with somatic, mindfulness, and parts-work modalities while also drawing on my experience in eco-therapy. Sessions support you in diving deep while feeling supported. Sessions take place online, in office, at the horse ranch, or in the forest depending on your needs and goals.

Coming to therapy is an act of self-love. Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do is the most rewarding endeavor, bringing authenticity, creativity, and choice into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world were formed in infancy and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of our actions in the present time. I am passionate about exploring with you old patterns that do not serve you anymore. I support you in cultivating conscious life-affirming choices and self-caring responses to the inevitable challenging and painful events of life.

For each of us, life is not without change, loss, transition, even trauma, and the emotional difficulties that result. And we heal and transform by way of supportive connection, internally, environmentally, and relationally. I am inspired by the subtle ways in which providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space allows for a client’s inner wisdom, insights, and empowerment to emerge and for life’s transitions to be eased. I work to provide a sanctuary to process, be witnessed in, and build helpful skills for dealing with loss & grief, transition, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and trauma.
