About My Clients

One of my greatest passions is to embrace ourselves where we are, while also committing to change. I firmly believe that our capacity for joy relates to how we move through suffering and difficult emotions. Offering kindness to ourselves along with allowing emotions instead of avoiding, deepens life experiences. This type of space encourages an understanding of your story while actively creating the future you see for yourself. I provide a safe, trusting environment to explore your needs.

My Background and Approach

I've worked with issues that interfere with life relationships and work: depression, anxiety, addiction, divorce, body image, identity issues. Over 18 years I have moved from a focus on addictions to working with clients who have unaddressed, unattended trauma (such as sexual abuse, sexual assault). As we build connection and safety, we will move into daily stressors that are present and eventually make our way into how the past also plays into the now. There are patterned ways that we live and we will be curious and ask questions around ways of being that may no longer serve. you.
