“Because you are alive, everything is possible.” 

– Thich Nhat Hanh

I consider myself a practical mystic: one foot rooted in the earthiness of being human, and one planted firmly in Spirit. There are resources for healing that are bigger than we are, and I can help you connect deeply into your own capacity to experience this oneness while still fully present in this life, right now. We can find enlightenment while washing the dishes!

My style as a counselor is creative, intuitive, spiritual, and depth-oriented. I am warm, funny, and kind. I will guide you to make contact with your own inner wisdom, and help you live fully from there: you can heal the wounds, transform the losses, release unhelpful patterns, and engage with a higher sense of Self and purpose in all aspects of your life.

My approach  is rooted in 25 years of training and experience in Jungian Depth Psychotherapy, ACT Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, and Buddhist Psychology. I believe in the power of accessing your own deep wisdom. You have everything you need within you, and I would love to help you access it! 

I use dream work, active imagination, art therapy, journaling, mindfulness, meditation, the body, and an openness to spiritual synchronicity. All of these tools are woven intuitively into your work as you need them. This can sometimes be surprisingly fun! Playing with dreams, listening to the imagination, and really getting to know yourself is such a juicy process! When we open up to a creative flow together, we can learn so much about who you are, how to heal, and how to find meaning, purpose, and joy in your life. 

I have particular expertise in treating Trauma (PTSD, Complex PTSD, and Relational Trauma), Grief, Anxiety, Addiction, and Body Image/Eating Disorders. Many of these issues are interrelated and have symbolic meaning beyond their symptomology. See below for more issues I work with regularly.

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
