About
I have thirty years of experience as a marriage and family therapist and as a clinical supervisor or administrator. I am trained as divorce mediator and I work with parents in their co-parenting relationships post-divorce. I am trained as a trauma therapist and I work with clients using a body-based modality called Somatic Experiencing. I offer faith-based therapy for those who seek therapy based in Christian teachings and Scripture. I am trained as a death doula which means that I offer guidance and support for individuals and their families during the dying process and for people who are considering Medical Aid in Dying (MAID). My belief is that many conditions or states of mind are categorized as “mental illness,” when they could be more accurately described as adaptive responses. I lead with compassion and genuine curiosity as to each person's experience of themselves, their relationships, and the world. Life in our culture is so very challenging. We are bombarded with information and so many choices. It's overwhelming and we all feel the brain fatigue. I will offer you a safe place to exhale and explore at a gentle pace. Trauma can be insidious and difficult to recognize. Therapy is your time to become aware and to learn the skills for healing.
