About My Clients

I work with children 8-10, teens and adults of any age. I specialize in working with men and women who find their old ways of interacting with others are leaving them unfulfilled, disconnected, not satisfied, and wanting more.

My Background and Approach

I am a warm and engaged therapist. You sit across from a therapist at the most vulnerable times of your life. I offer you warmth, space, resources and support. I am not sure if you have seen a finger trap. It is a weaved fabric or fiber tube. After you place your fingers in either end, it can be a challenge to disengage. The more you try to pull out, the tighter you get. But, if you push your fingers in slightly, it loosens, and you can see your way out. Similar to that, when we go into our experience, with the presence of another, life begins to open. I offer you that experience in therapy. I enable you a chance to go in to your experience so you can go through. Often in therapy, we may welcome our own story, our own experience for the first time. In therapy we can warmly embrace, tenderly hold the difficult parts our journey. And like the finger puzzle, when we express, experience, go into our story, we move toward the freedom to engage

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I provide a safe place for you to explore and experience yourself. I have huge confidence in the body, brain/soul to heal. As we work together, I provide a safe environment for you to welcome more of your self. My approach is grounded in the relationship we develop in the room. I am deeply and inspirationally curious about you and the creative ways you have crafted your life to this point. Congratulate yourself. I will. I reverentially hold that as foundational to whatever we do. You bring in a host of strengths, a wonderful set of choices you have made to get to our first meeting. And even in the face of that, something is not going right. Otherwise, you would not be in therapy. So we begin our work. I am anxious to be with you as you discover how to move forward. I specialize in working with men and women with bisexual, fluid or pan orientation.
