Empower Yourself

I believe the most therapeutic experiences involve a mix of straightforwardness, empathy, and empowerment. If you’re seeking therapy, you need more than validation—that’s what friends are for. Therapy is for doing the hard work of processing, understanding, and growth. I aim to be solution-focused; I will be curious, challenging, and supportive. I like to use creative interventions to help you reach your goals. Areas of interest and experience for me include, but aren't limited to, issues from: abuse, family of origin, grief (esp. after suicide loss), trauma, anxiety, dissociative issues, addiction, depression, relationships, & transitions. I also love working with those who have a spiritual practice and want to incorporate it into their therapy.

I blend many modalities, including trauma-informed, client-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, and intuitive thinking/mindfulness. Currently, I see individuals 16 and older.

Areas of experience and interest for me include, but are not limited to, issues stemming from:

Partner or childhood abuse

Family of origin

Grief (esp. after suicide loss)

Trauma

Anxiety

Dissociative issues

Addiction

Depression

Relationship issues

Transitions

Over my 50 years, I've experienced therapy as a client, working through my own family and relationship issues, as well as my own struggles with postpartum depression 25 years ago. I’ve also experienced my friends and family struggle with everything from addiction to homelessness to suicide. I personally understand the pain and confusion of mental health struggles, and I can help you navigate your own journey.
