I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years, so my practice has both depth and breadth. I have much experience working with depression and anxiety, addictions and recovery, all types of trauma, and relationship issues of all kinds. I welcome LGBTQ+ individuals, folx from non-dominant cultural backgrounds, and I enjoy working with individuals, couples, "pods," and families. My goal is the empowerment of everyone I serve.
I have worked in a wide range of settings. I know the traditional behavioral health world of diagnosis and treatment planning for depression/anxiety, co-occurring disorders, and substance use disorders; I mainly work in non-medical, non-traditional ways, including Internal Family Systems and Gestalt therapy-both present moment, creative, somatic therapies.
I have been told that I work with an open heart. My intuition is sharp. I use IFS and Gestalt therapy as a foundation and lead clients to where their Desire is realized. I also have an inclusive mindset, and am able to be present and connect with each unique person I serve. Presence and compassion are the foundation of my work.
