If you are seeking emotional support and growth after a catastrophe (including wildfire, floods, or climate change distress), or fear the future, I would like to introduce myself. I provide an informed, safe, deep, supportive and effective therapy to help understand and illuminate what has happened, and work toward growth and happiness. In these anxiety provoking times upheavals at international, national, and personal levels of our lives haunt us creating extra difficulty with relationships, decisions, or influence. You will find me experienced, warm, empathic, and responsive and experienced.
Psychotherapy is my 'art' and passion. I am easy to talk to, genuine, positive, and astute. Trauma is profound and shapes our ways of encountering life and responding to its challenges. It can make us fearful, stuck, and limited. I am interested in an emancipatory approach.
An unusually varied life experience has exposed me to many diverse communities. My passion for this work has led me to write, present at conferences, publish, teach, and supervise. I have been a member and chaired several committees for the Climate Psychology Alliance in recent years.
