My Approach

As I have wrestled to understand my story, I have seen goodness in discovering treasures of truth and beauty tucked away in dark spaces of my heart and body. By coming alive to what I know and feel, I have found walking through darkness brings freedom

​

I am curious and kind with clients, using insight, questions, and motivations in session. Where we go in counseling is up to you. I will follow your lead as we collaborate on how to “find you”.  I envision the process as a maze with beautiful hedges, flowers, the subtle babble of a creek; extravagant and lush in some places, wildly overgrown in others; sometimes dry and barren. There are many landscapes to be curious about. And such beauty.  

 

The process is winding and messy.

​

The theories I use are a combination of Narrative Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). 

 

This is an invitation to seek your treasures, truth and beauty.
