About My Clients
If you are looking for a therapist who is accessible, present, fearless, and authentic, then we might just be a match. I love clients who are therapy veterans and know what they want (or what they don't). I also love to help clients who are new to therapy, and feel a little nervous, to feel secure and supported. Whether you have a trauma history that you need someone grounded to help you address, or just are feeling overwhelmed, or want to make your world better, I am here for it.
My Background and Approach
I bring a lifetime of experiences (and a fondness for metaphors) to the therapy room for us to draw on. Before I became a therapist, I taught and practiced neuromuscular re-education and body/mind therapy, along with being an internationally known author and expert in applied mindfulness. My focus is on meeting each person where they are. I use experiential, narrative, mindfulness, and somatic approaches, but I have a rich "toolbox" as well. I am Gottman trained. I am affirming, but straightforward, using strength based approaches to look forward while acknowledging the systems that formed our past. I have experience and appreciate working with deep trauma. Individuals, couples, and families need support to navigate anxiety, depression and trauma, and I can be your guide. I believe that we are not defined by our problems, that they are something we can solve or manage with guidance and help.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I strive to do my small part to work toward social justice and humane treatment of all peoples. I connect with the LGBTQIA community, along with being sex positive and polyamory and kink aware and informed.
