About My Clients
Are you about to go through a big change, and want to feel prepared and supported? Maybe you have big questions, and no clear answers. Or maybe you're just over the way you're going through life, and want to do it differently. Counseling during a time of transition can be a powerful, meaningful, and grounding experience. The goal is to help you reconnect with your own needs, your own voice, and a version of you that feels solid.
My Approach to Helping
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and you may not know where to begin, or what to talk about. We’ll start by talking about what’s been happening in your life, and what you hope to change. Together, we’ll sort out what best supports you. My work is warm and relational. It is informed by Psychodynamic, and Jungian theories. This means we understand what's overwhelming right now and also uncover what's driving it, so you can make choices that feel right for you. If intense dreams or nightmares are disrupting your sleep, we can explore what they mean and help you get some real rest. I offer in-person sessions in Orange County as well as online, and I welcome clients across diverse backgrounds, identities, and relational styles.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
All of who you are is welcome here. I understand the need to define the self and relationships beyond the inherited stories of how life should look, and have been in a poly relationship for many years. I understand religious trauma and I honor the many paths to inner peace and authenticity, whether or not they include a spiritual tradition, divination practice, or community. I offer affirming care for monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, and for LGBTQIA+ clients, and honor the full range of human connection and desire. I reserve a portion of my appointments for clients who need a lower fee, and if that is you, please ask me about it. My favorite ways to recharge are reading fairy tales from around the world, watching Dropout tv, being outside, and spoiling my dog.
