I believe distress arises naturally in our complex, over stimulating and often threatening world. I encourage people to learn about themselves & their natural human reactions to distress. Clients learn ways to settle their mind and body, growing their capacity to respond rather than react. Clients develop inner and outer power resources to cope with challenging circumstances. I am committed to racial-cultural learning to increase self-awareness, reduce micro-aggressions, and facilitate meaningful change toward greater equity and opportunity for people who have been/are oppressed.
Together we create a safe relationship, exchange ideas, explore identities & set meaningful goals. When talking is difficult, I offer creative-expressive methods for sharing, discovery & processing. Through writing, movement, collage, drawing, shaping clay, & singing we can reduce stigma, heal hurts, grieve, & build abilities for your age & phase of living.
I see myself as a fellow human, walking alongside on the path toward growth. I do my own work to change unhealthy patterns, grieve losses, calm an easily activated nervous system, and sustain my energy & enthusiasm for life. I am courageous, resourceful, kind yet firm, organized, and proactive. I look forward to working with you on your path.
