About My Clients
Clients come to me longing to feel whole. Despite having had prior experience with therapy or practicing other methods of personal inquiry and development, they struggle with shame and feeling like they're not enough. When they first come in, childhood trauma or other relational trauma is often resurfacing, which feels very overwhelming. Other times, it’s the voice of shame they can’t seem to shake – always in their ear telling them they’re not enough.
My Background and Approach
Individual Therapy Services: Ecotherapy and Equine-Assisted Therapy The work we engage in through therapy is both deep and deeply healing. We begin with building a foundation of trust – what therapists call “relational safety.” It provides you with a safe place to land and be vulnerable, so we can get to the heart of the big stuff. As trust develops and deepens, we’ll explore your past experiences, current situations, and established patterns, habits and beliefs. We’ll learn what’s serving you – and what isn’t. Our work takes many forms. If we meet in person, we’ll take our sessions outside to connect and tune in with the more-than-human world – with nature and animals. We may walk and talk while taking in all the sounds, sights and smells that the natural environment has to offer. Other times, it may feel good to find a place to sit down together to talk. It's always up to you. I use a beautiful blend of relational therapy, Brené Brown’s Daring Way and interpersonal neurobiology.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing and wholeness come from a sense of connection with ourselves, each other and all life with which we share this amazing planet. My work as a therapist and educator is all about fostering the art of connection. I believe that when we address shame and oppression head-on – with love, compassion and accountability – we free ourselves to move toward braver, more vulnerable, more connected living. My greatest joy lies in promoting our sense of interconnectedness through love, hope and healing.
