About Me
I love the collaborative and creative work of therapy.
I see my role, not only as a trained practitioner of clinical modalities,
but also as one of a midwife or gardener.
I believe each of us has the wisdom of what we need to heal within us.
It is not my job to teach you how to be a better person or to become whole . . . our work in therapy is to help you remember that you are and always have been—whole.
Together we compost the trauma of the past and rotate, turn it,
and bring it to light so that it can fertilize the soil for your growth.
I work with children, families, couples, and individuals of all ages.
Some of the tools I use to guide the process are
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- Internal Family Systems and Relational
- Grief Therapy
- Internal Family Systems and Relational
- Life Stages
- Faith Based and Play Therapy
No matter what the modality, my approach is always trauma informed, person-centered and strengths based. I value the dignity and worth of every person and understand that each of our individual struggles takes place in context.
Intergenerational harm, a global pandemic, systemic oppression through race, gender and finite material resources are all part of the compost we process in the work of personal transformation.
