People are not problems; problems are problems. Through 30 years of clinical practice, I've companioned numerous individuals and families facing cancer, experiencing loss & grief & impacted by caregiver strain. I provide empathy, compassion, insight & support. We stand up to problems together, focusing on resilience, wellness, enhanced coping, reduced distress, and grieving after loss & life transition. Let strengths & values, obscured by problems, show brightly again. I skillfully weave eclectic therapies with mindfulness, compassion & meaning-making, and justice. Relational caring on one's quest for personal insight & renewal.
Life is lived in cultural & societal contexts worth examining. Healing occurs when real-life struggles are brought to therapy & mindful awareness is used to gain insights within the therapeutic relationship. This allows insights of therapy & practice into life. Understanding & living fully in the present moment is the best way to prepare for what is to come.
Live life more fully again despite suffering. Rooted in therapeutic connectedness, kindness, presence, embodied attention, empathy & compassion and through developing an authentic & welcoming relationship, we co-create opportunities for growth, change, healing, equanimity & renewal. Gains made in our time together are naturally disseminated into daily life.

My practice is relational, emerging through collaboration. Relational work aims to build an individual's sense of self, personal agency, and interpersonal connections. Our therapeutic relationship is the foundation for looking internally, developing self-awareness, enhancing connection, and deepening insight. I blend grief work, mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and somatic and polyvagal theory.
