"And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Allow me to be your guide and ally as we work together to transform your wounds into strengths, your difficulties into rewards, and move into the rich and meaningful life that is your birthright. I have particular expertise in: (1) unresolved trauma; (2) depression, grief, anxiety, and other challenging emotional states; and (3) existential/spiritual issues and crisis - finding meaning/purpose, exploring identity and values, working with non-ordinary experiences and states of mind, and life transition.
Of course, we are not isolated beings, and a rich and enjoyable life also requires the development of enjoyable and nourishing relationships. I also have extensive experience in supporting people through relationship difficulties - communication problems, healing relational wounds, establishing nourishing connection, and making mutual life decisions.
I believe that effective therapy involves gaining a deep understanding and acceptance of ourselves - healing our wounds, making peace with our limitations, identifying our passions, and cultivating our strengths and our gifts. As your guide and ally in this journey, I will support you in moving more fully and joyously into your "one wild and precious life."

I believe that truly effective therapy involves diving directly into the waters of your here-and-now experience. I will routinely suggest that we ground our explorations in such direct experience, using mindfulness-based methods and a variety of other evidence-based approaches that offer powerful yet gentle gateways into present experience and ultimately profound healing and transformation.
