The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
—C.G. Jung
I strive to:
serve as a companion
and
create a nurturing and healing temenos,
where self-discovery can lead to
the restoration of trust, strength, meaning,
and playful engagement.
I value courage, curiosity, the creative process,
and
relatedness
as the soil for
fresh growth, flourishing, and vitality.
My approach is holistic and integrative, sacred and soulful.
​
I weave in trauma-informed and mindfulness practices,
embrace the power of a witnessing presence,
to allow patients to address inner and outer challenges,
foster greater consciousness and sense of possibility,
and hold on to the dream of moving into alignment with one's own uniquely imagined life.
Psychotherapy with me is ideal if you …​

Are a child or adult impacted by disrupted bonds, such as those caused by divorce, death, adoption, illness, or substance use.
Want to tap into and explore your creativity more deeply amidst the chaos and demands of daily life.
Feel a deep need to acknowledge the cultural, emotional, physical, environmental and spiritual wounds experienced and
work toward fulfilling adaptations.
Are seeking someone to hold the disparate parts of your experience while creating a meaningful, new narrative.
Sense an opening and want to delve into the unknown - listening to, and interacting with dreams
to facilitate stronger, more authentic life choices.

There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change.
But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it, you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.
William Stafford
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and
try to love the questions themselves
like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Love the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.

The person who has a why can live with any how.
