Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology
Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #133018
Working with children and adults seeking a warm, safe, supportive, and confidential space to explore relationships with themselves and others. Valuing courage, curiosity, and authenticity as a foundation for meaningful growth, my approach is holistic and integrative, weaving in trauma-informed practices and mindfulness techniques to address inner and outer challenges with the goal of greater consciousness, freedom, and connection with life.
​

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 hurtor 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.
Ranier Maria Rilke
