My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and client-centered: I view therapy as a co-creative process in which we collaborate to meet your goals. I believe you already have the internal resources you need to heal and grow, and I am a guide. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize mind-body processes to draw out your inner strengths and resources, and to release stuck patterns that no longer serve you. My clinical interests are working with life transitions, decision-making, changing habit patterns, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, parenting challenges, couples communication, and personal and spiritual growth.
My 20+ years of practice in many settings (county mental health, clinic, private practice, schools, Project Sanctuary) have afforded me diverse therapeutic experience that I bring to my work. I am trained in EMDR for trauma, hypnotic/somatic methods, Nonviolent Communication, and yoga interventions for trauma, anxiety, and depression.
My intention in my work with you is for you to meet your goals and beyond. Just as health is not merely the absence of disease, psychological well-being is not just the removal of symptoms/problems, but the attainment of a joyous, fulfilling and meaningful life.
