I love working with couples! I am an Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapist (EFT) who has been practicing couple's therapy since 2016. EFT is a modality that has been clinically proven to identify the foundational issues in your relationship that are causing disconnection and provides a clear road map for how to solve these issues. We all deserve a safe and secure base and this safe and secure base is possible. If your hope is to feel closer, more important, valued and like you are getting it right in your primary relationship EFT provides a path, it is possible!

PLEASE NOTE: MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL. A mindfully collaborative approach to counseling begins with an affirming and compassionate therapist. In this way, I work with young adults and adults to develop confidence in processing and managing issues such as: chronic illness, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationships and life transitions. Together, we may work with mindfulness techniques, Life Span Integration and other narrative processes, cognitive-behavioral strategies and somatic techniques to help you to authentically reshape the story of how you perceive yourself, your experience and what is possible.

My role as a counselor is to walk alongside you and assist you in uncovering and discovering what is true for you and the beliefs you hold about yourself that may or may not serve you well at this point in your life. Together we will look at the symptoms (often defined as problems) that are interfering with your life and your goals, and explore ways to manifest a more authentic and satisfying life that is consistent with your own unique psycho, social, physical and spiritual values. My style as a therapist is compassionate, direct, non-judgmental, and solution focused.

We can sometimes feel that we are getting in our own way. Often unconscious patterns that may have served us earlier in life become frustrating, problematic, and uncomfortable. We may find these patterns interfering with relationships, intimacy, work, physical health, a sense of purpose, creativity, connection with self, intuition, efficacy, and self-confidence. We may find that we are living in removed or automated ways, distanced from life. We may neglect or abandon ourselves, over-expand or limit ourselves. When these ways of being become challenging can be an opportune time to engage in counseling.

We live in a complicated and challenging society and then, we have ourselves to deal with. Therapy is a good way to understand yourself on a deeper level so you can grow to your full potential and change the things that need to be changed. By doing so, we not only heal ourselves, but we are then a benefit to others in our life and to the world in general. I think I can help with that no matter where you are in the process.

In all of my time working in the field of mental health and wellness, I have become completely awed by the strength, resiliency, and beauty of the human spirit. My work as a counselor is focused on reflecting and co-creating opportunities to bring forth our best self. By taking ownership of the stories we tell ourselves, we can overcome any adversity, reach any level of self awareness, and begin to live the lives we feel meant for. My orientation stems from a Gnostic (Self-Knowledge) exploration of the self, seeing who we are, where we begin and where we truly meet others.

As a multi-racial, formally diagnosed autistic individual with lived experiences of systemic violence, I bring a unique and deeply empathetic perspective to therapy. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how trauma impacts vulnerable populations differently and often more severely. My commitment to civil rights advocacy is driven by a passion for addressing systemic violence against marginalized communities, including people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, those living in poverty, and people with disabilities.

My practice is currently full to new clients except for supervision clients. I have been practicing since 1996. I spent eight years at Northwest Youth Services working with teens and their families. I have been in private practice since 2003 and work with individuals, couples and teens. I have a dynamic personal style and use a variety of approaches to help clients improve. I use psychoeducation and a systemic perspective, which looks for the patterns in our behavior. I take on-going training in improving marriage. I have been trained in EMDR, TFT, and other "power therapies" for people with PTSD or long standing trauma.

I believe in the innate power each of us possesses to heal. Beginning with a gentle exploration of your story, your sense awareness and your feeling world, I seek to find a mutually agreed upon place to begin deeper work together. I hold close to embodiment (breath/gesture/sensation); creativity (playfulness/curiosity/possibility); and compassion (non-judgment/empathy/connection): all these are pathways to ground and support your healing process. I have found that depth of relationship itself is a healer, so I strive for a REAL, courageous relationship with my clients- capable of sustaining vulnerability, fierceness and deep transformations.

I want your therapy experience to be a safe place to explore your life, your problems, and your dreams. Thoreau's quotation says it for me: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Your issues may be small or large. My commitment to you is to respect you as an individual and to really listen to you.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed or weighed down by the curveballs life has thrown at you? As if there are a lot of feelings or thoughts whirling inside you that you cannot explain or understand? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself anymore but can't put a finger on when or why things changed. I believe that a genuine therapeutic relationship and a nonjudgmental space to explore our stories can help us heal what feels broken. The most common issues I enjoy working with are depression, grief, adjustment to major life/career changes, ADHD symptom management and relationship troubles.

Many of us see our own upbringing as “it wasn’t that bad.” And yet our current choices and reactions reflect back to us patterns of deep wounding. Generational trauma, family shame, parental caretaking, and distorted expectations all have deep impacts on our journey to discovering and living our true self. Black Sheep Healing works with people who realize that there can be another way. This is for people who are having a human response to an inhumane world.
