I hold unconditional positive regard as the key to a great therapeutic relationship. I work to meet people where they are, to actively listen and understand their values, and to explore and support them to better connect with themselves and others. My goal is to help people cultivate loving acceptance of themselves, and gain insight of how the past impacts the present, while creating an awareness that the past doesn't have to dictate their present or future.

I come to my work as a therapist from backgrounds as an artist, hospital oncology chaplain, art professor and activist, meditation teacher, lover of movement, backpacker Dharma bum, essayist, companion of rescue pups, and former Buddhist nun. I've been around the block, tried many things, succeeded and failed, and carried my heart through many of this world's wild, beautiful, boring, terrible, sacred spaces. All of which feels relevant to working with clients who dare to trust their creative and intuitive processes as they come into fierce, tender, inalienable wholeness.

I work with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. I will work with you to identify your goals, your strengths, and your positive capacities to make changes. I can also help you work through the effects of traumatic events, complex trauma, PTSD, medical trauma, and fears and phobias, including fear of medical procedures (blood draws and upcoming surgeries). Using EMDR and other modalities, I can help you heal from trauma and feel less hijacked by your emotions. I would like to help you envision and embody your goals for the future!
