Individual Therapy

The focus of my work is to support individual adults who are seeking support related to:

• Relationship challenges and heartbreak
• Anxiety and Depression
• Pregnancy and parenting
• Transforming childhood trauma
• End of Life challenges
• Grief and loss

Personal and Spiritual Growth

I love helping individuals who are committed to their personal and spiritual development remove obstacles to fulfilling their potential.   I also offer a variety of personal exploration groups and workshops for women.

My Approach to Therapy

In the context of a safe and compassionate environment I help my clients to identify and develop their unique strengths and talents so that they are able to heal from their wounds and move toward balance and fulfillment.

I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, guided imagery, dreamwork, ceremony, expressive arts, Gestalt therapy, and acupressure.  I find that working with these experiential modalities helps my clients to connect with their own internal resources, develop self-acceptance and realize the changes they seek.

My work has also been shaped by the study of yoga, meditation and traditional healing practices that I have pursued locally and during my extensive travels in Mexico and Latin America.  My connection with the plant world and the cycles of nature deeply influence my work as a therapist as well.

I tailor my services to the needs and resources of each client.  I provide depth oriented long-term psychotherapy as well as short-term solution oriented counseling and consultations.

My Background

For over 20 years years I have been supporting individuals and their loved ones with relationship problems, anxiety, depression, spiritual issues, addictions, trauma, chronic and acute illness and grief and loss issues.

I received a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in 1999.  Prior to my graduate studies, I worked for several years as a naturalist after receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz.

I have completed advanced trainings in EMDR, Gestalt therapy, Interactive Guided Imagery, and Grief and Loss.  I have worked as a Grief Counselor at Memorial Hospice in Santa Rosa and have completed the certificate training in Death Midwifery through Final Passages, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating dignified and compassionate alternatives to current funeral practices.
