I offer presence and connection to support couples and individuals towards greater authenticity and fulfillment. I understand well the tremendous capacity for the psyche to accommodate unresolved trauma by intricate and patterned coping means. This tempers my approach towards one of gentle courage with clients. Together we learn to find a pacing that creates safety for making contact with what hurts. I am deeply interested in supporting the recognition of your intrinsic capacity to grow towards wholeness. This occurs through dialogue, active processing of emotions, and encountering your truth in the present.

Our work together is alive and experiential, drawn out of the integrity of what can be known and felt in the moment. The therapeutic dialogue reveals clients’ strengths as well as the patterns that may interrupt the fullest expression of health and wellbeing. Clients learn that they hold the capacity to growth and healing in relationships.

You are not alone. It is an honor to witness the living story of resilience that is each unique human being. Seeking a way out of suffering, we learn our capacity to move into and through what is most difficult.
