We all deserve to feel aligned, safe and nurtured. Cultivating compassionate self-awareness and acceptance, are at the core of healing, change and growth. When we feel healthy and fulfilled we are more likely to live with meaning. I utilize an integrative lens, centered in mindfulness, somatic, attachment and IFS orientations to promote increased consciousness of thoughts, values, feelings, and behavior patterns. My approach is intuitive, and warm. Our work together involves expanding awareness of the inner mind, and felt senses to move towards a more integrated self. I am tele health only at this time.

Curious about EMDR Therapy? EMDR is extensively researched, highly effective, and recommended by organizations such as the APA, WHO, and DoD. In fact, over the last 33 years, millions have been successfully treated with EMDR by over 100,000 clinicians worldwide. EMDR is commonly effective with anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, fears, phobias, panic, trauma, sleep issues, addictions, and performance challenges. What makes EMDR so powerful is how effectively it turns on the brain’s natural healing process, allowing for deep release of the painful past thoughts and wounds that keep you stuck in old, negative patterns.

After 25+ years of providing counseling I find my philosophy has grown simpler and more to the point.
Successful counseling is built on a positive and trusting relationship, much as successful living is dependent on trusting, healthy relationships. I bring a broad array of treatment tools to my work including gestalt, object relations and psychodynamic theory. Most importantly I bring myself; my heart, my humor, my understanding, knowledge and years of experience. I work with adults and children, couples and groups(this includes families).
These groups draw from the work of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Robert Bly, and others to explore the masculine psyche and issues relevant to all men including purpose, grief, shame, initiation, ancestry, spirituality, relationships, and more. Each week is different but woven with a common thread. The process reflects the unique lived experiences of each man present. We will co-create a safe, non-judgmental space where we come together as one to deepen our stories, express our truths, and learn from one another in the presence of an experienced facilitator.

I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. My primary research focus is transpersonal experiences and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration. My philosophy is one of organicity, meaning that every individual is gifted with an innate healing wisdom and capacity for wholeness. As a former earth scientist and current artist, I incorporate lessons from nature and creative expression in my work, and seek to help others reconnect with the more subtle rhythms of psyche as a woven thread in the generative fabric of life.
For all male-identified humans wishing to grow, support self and others in a safe, structured, facilitated group. How often do we get to be real and be supported in community? Come be a part of transformative sessions. Group therapy provides a unique opportunity to accelerate inner growth. All sexualities encouraged, AND people uncomfortable with the word "man." Thursdays at 12:00 noon for 60-90 minutes. Mostly in-person with an online hybrid option. Limited to 8 members. Openings for October 2024. Message me for an initial call and to reserve your spot.

Imagine finally feeling like your true self, no longer overwhelmed or caught in a cycle of frustration from life's relentless challenges. Envision a space where supportive guidance gently unravels the burdens you've carried—be it relationship issues, stress, anxiety, the depths of depression, grief, or the shadows of past trauma—revealing the essence of who you are. I've been there too, caught in the same exhausting cycles that hold us back from truly living, and I understand the courage it takes to seek change. With a trauma-informed lens, I am deeply committed to guiding you through breaking free from life's overwhelming cycles.
This group challenges men to become less reactive during conflict, take responsibility for their own thoughts and behaviors, learn new conflict resolution skills, evaluate any "thinking errors" that may underly the problem,and become more aware of the negative effects of their abuse. I accept only voluntary clients, no court-mandated domestic violence offenders. The atmosphere is supportive, blending education and therapeutic "processing".
Group is more effective than individual or couples therapy for this issue. The group facilitates self-disclosure and accountability and provides a format in which men can support and challenge each other to change.

I offer short term, evidence-based treatment for trauma (Cognitive Processing Treatment - CPT) and anxiety disorders, specifically OCD, rumination, and phobias (Exposure and Response Prevention - ERP). When we have experienced difficult or traumatic events, those experiences can create beliefs about ourselves, our lives, and our potential for healing that can get stuck and hold us back from the changes we need to make. I believe that your approach to things can be different as you can learn feel confident trusting in yourself. When negative thoughts arise, they won’t feel like the absolute truth and you can rebuild your life.
