My Approach

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung

Belonging matters more than you think! There is a deep, transformative power in good counseling, but it is supercharged when we are willing to be seen and heard in community. Real belonging – the kind where you actually get to be yourself in relationship with other people -happens with other people in the room. 

What makes my practice unique lies in leveraging the power of community. I love what community can do for a tender heart. Individual therapy is important and life-changing, and most folks definitely start there. But there are limits to what we can do individually. A therapy group is a special community that can hold, see, lift up, and heal in a way that no one person can do. In community, you are a PART of something, giving and receiving. You can grow your capacity for intimacy and authenticity in real time, and can practice new ways of being in a safe container. If you want to feel loved into the next chapter of your life, this is the way to do it. 

“How do I get started?” Give me a call! People typically start with individual counseling because it gives us a chance to get to know each other to and to create a sense of safety and connection. I have special expertise in trauma, eating disorders/body image, addiction, anxiety, and grief. We can start where you are. I use ACT therapy and Jungian Depth Psychotherapy to access your deepest wisdom, and then move towards action in the service of your values. It’s a pretty empowering combination!

“What if I’m too scared to start with a group?” Totally ok, and really common! Let’s start with a community of just the two of us. Group is important when you are ready, but there is no rush. 

Together, we can create a new way, and a new world – personally and collectively. Reach out today and let’s talk about it!

Here are some things people have told me they want you to know about working with me:


“You are an open heart, open mind therapist. You have a fast, wicked sense of humor and meet people where they are. You have a vast tool box and range of experiences to facilitate going deeper. You are safe. Nothing surprises you. Your have good boundaries and honor the boundaries of others. You are honest, humble, compassionate and curious. You look for ways to personally learn and grow which serves as a wonderful example to people who’ve temporarily lost their way. You don’t have all the answers but you are willing to explore all the possibilities. You provide good tea, a quiet space to unravel and fall into place. You are a gifted teacher.” – Laura


“Oh where to start… I would say that your capacity to hold people is one of your best qualities, along with your open heart. You say yes and are so nonjudgmental. Everyone should know you’re an artist, a meditation teacher, and have done your work so you’re not afraid to walk people where they need to go. Grief needs a companion, and there’s no one better than you.” – Jessica


“I would tell them that you are a genuine and warm person who is committed to meeting clients where they are. That you are an artist and a yogi and explorer of new ideas and deepening of understanding. I would tell them you have a sense of humor along with extensive knowledge and training. And that you are a stellar human who I feel lucky to know and learn from.” – Lane
