My approach to counseling is to join you on your path of discovery, healing, and growth, and to honor and help uncover your internal wisdom. I will invite you to listen to your body, to learn its language, and to track your nervous system in order to gain more of a sense of what it is you need to feel safe. I offer education on the functioning of the stress/threat response, so that we can remove shame from the way we see obstacles, and instead learn from our innate drive towards survival and expand our capacity to tolerate feelings, both the lows and the highs.
I participate in ongoing personal work around my heritage, privilege, and a deeper understanding of our messy humanity. I operate from a place of curiosity, and incorporate humor into this serious practice of life. I have chosen some alternative paths and am familiar with the state of transition, that awkward liminal place of uncertainty and patience.
I am passionate about facilitating opportunities for individuals and groups to connect with the natural world, to explore their inner-landscapes (the part of the natural world that is always with us), and to discover within themselves a strength and beauty more powerful than they previously knew.
