About My Clients
Most of the people I work with have experienced childhood trauma—from parents, caregivers, churches or cults, leaving them with gaps in their developmental experience. If we didn’t have the opportunity to learn something at eight, we may feel shamed or somehow handicapped when we find ourselves stumbling through it at age 38. Or 68. Turning that frustration on ourselves compounds the problem and makes everything feel worse. What if you didn’t have to feel that way?
My Background and Approach
I have a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, am a certified EMDR therapist (EMDRIA), and have studied Dreamwork (Jungian, Active/Shamanic Dreaming), and Energy Psychology (Johrei, Reiki Master Therapist). I have worked with clients dealing with cancer, chronic illness, childhood emotional/physical/sexual abuse, religious oppression/abuse, childhood alcoholic parents, and other forms of trauma and wounding. I have mentored and coached individuals, assisted with life transitions, spiritual exploration, and relationship healing. I trust you as the expert on your own experience. I will encourage the examination of what has led you to counseling and foster your power to find your way to authentic happiness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Grounded in the science of psychology and the art of metaphysics, I bring a fluid, inclusive perspective and the ability to meet you where you are with openness and respect. I deeply believe that you deserve respect and that your story deserves to be witnessed and honored. When I'm not at the office, you can often find me writing, painting, or at the beach!
