I'm so glad you're here. Take a deep breath and settle in as I tell you a little about my practice. One of the beautiful things about counseling is having the privilege to hear individual's stories. Each therapeutic interaction presents with unique history, strengths, and concerns. I operate primarily from an Interpersonal orientation which looks at the counseling relationship as a "safe haven" to facilitate the change each client desires. I believe that relationship - with self and with others - can heal. I strive to hold space and actively participate with each client desiring change, counseling and working toward congruence of body, mind and spirit. My approach is integrative, utilizing cognitive-behavioral, family systems, psychodynamic and attachment theories in the focus of treatment. With children I primarily utilize play therapy, narrative and expressive interventions, and parent skills training. Trauma-informed treatment including EMDR is one of my specializations. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative. I honor the courage of my clients - it is a privilege to hear and speak into their stories. I honor the pace and process each client desires, and work with each client to generalize the skills learned in therapy out to the rest of life.
