I tend to be relaxed and calm, and am good at helping others to find a sense
of calmness in their own lives. I understand that clients are people, not sets
of symptoms. Because of this I will work hard to minimize the anxiety that
you may have about coming to therapy. I won't ask you to tell me your whole
life story the first time that we meet. Instead my aim is to build a
collaborative, supportive relationship that will support you along your
journey.
I have a very gentle and laid back personality that tends to put people at
ease. At the same time, I think of this work as sacred, and treat each person
I meet with respect, dignity and honesty. I often find myself in awe that I get
to walk with people so closely as they journey through life.
I understand people from a wholistic perspective, meaning that a person's
thoughts, physical health, emotions, relationships, history, self care
activities, and "spirit" all combine to make a whole person. Because of this,
I often explore many of these areas in my work with people.
In addition to working with those who have anxiety, depression,
bereavement, and relationship problems, I enjoy helping people learn to
thrive after experiencing abuse or other traumatic events, or are feeling
the effects of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
I also proudly serve the LGBTQ community and have experience working
with gender-related issues. In addition, I have extensive experience
working with people who have worries about alcohol or other drugs in their
lives, or the lives of loved ones.
My work is informed by many different approaches because I believe that
each of us is a unique individual. I do believe strongly in the mind/body
connection, and therefore have found some techniques that go beyond
traditional talk therapy. These include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. These can be woven
into regular talk therapy sessions to help reduce physical tension and
anxiety, and gain integration between the logical, emotional, and physical
aspects of a person's experience.

Maslow is a therapy dog who joins me in sessions on most Thursdays. He
specializes in helping people stay grounded, changing the subject if things
are getting too heavy, and helping people to bravely talk about things that
scare them. As an added bonus, he is hypoallergenic and does not shed
much. If you don't want a dog to join us during your session, let's be sure to
meet on a day when he is not at the office.
