I believe that we're all works in progress, having found this to be true of clients struggling with life changes to clients with the most complicated of problems--even young gang members, in whom I've had the privilege of seeing humanity and goodness. The role of therapist, for me, is one of empowering, bearing witness to life's bewilderment and suffering, and jointly creating a peace of mind and resilience, sometimes in the face of unresolved problems, while honoring one's own truth and rewriting our narratives in a way that makes sense to us as we make meaning to our lives.

I believe everyone, no matter what their past experience, has an inborn ability for healing. Some reactions we learn for survival can become problems later in life. I'll help you understand how some of your current challenges and symptoms relate to your mind and body's natural, protective wisdom and together we'll access that wisdom for healing. This biology based approach sees you as someone worthy of support, yearning for wellness and capable of improvement, no matter your diagnosis. Skill building, trauma reprocessing, attachment focused support, education, parenting support and mindfulness are among the approaches we may use.

I am taking new clients after April 15, 2024. I work with anorexia, bulimia, and other eating problems. Many eating problems were initiated by dieting and became an illness when the body's evolutionary defenses against starvation fought back leading to anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Our fat-phobic culture preaches limitless perfectibility and a duplicitous diet industry claims that permanent loss is possible and healthy.

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

My top priority is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you. A fundamental aspect of that is hearing and understanding where you are coming from. The most common issues I help with are emotional trauma, relationship difficulties, workplace difficulties and longer term mental health/illness issues. I worked in state government for 15 years. The understanding that I developed regarding how organizations tend to function is valuable in helping clients dealing with workplace issues.

Most clients come to therapy when other things they've tried are no longer working. Whether it's the frustration of work and career, difficult familial connections, friendships or intimate relationships that feel less than satisfying. Issues around speaking up, feeling heard, respected emotionally are often some of the goals dear to our hearts, but also seem so out of reach. Most of us want to feel heard and as though we matter. Our futures are full of hope and opportunity, but getting there can also seem daunting. What is keeping you from achieving your beautiful life?

My therapeutic approach emphasizes a focus on subconscious motives & creativity forms of expression. I am Depth Psychologist with a PhD in Community, Liberation, and Eco psychology and a Masters in Counseling Psychology. I do not believe in fixing people, but instead in helping them explore the reasons symptoms and behaviors are coming forward, then working toward building stronger coping skills and resiliency. Evidence for the efficacy of depth psychological approaches to psychotherapy is growing as studies show that depth psychology has a longer-lasting and more profound impact than cognitive or behavioral psychologies alone.

Hello & Welcome. My journey and decision to become a counselor began with my own and loved one's challenging personal life experiences. These challenges led me to completing a program to become a Licensed Addiction Counselor and finally expanding my studies by completing a Master of Clinical Social Work degree, with an undergraduate minor degree in Native American Studies. Social work is important to me because of its holistic view, which considers how major life factors (health, relationships, psychology, culture, socioeconomic status and environment) impact a person's sense of self and wellbeing.
