Individual & Couples Counseling

“The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage."
​― Bessel A. van der Kolk
WHAT TO EXPECT
I guide my clients in building a profound connection with themselves and their lives using somatic, intuitive, and spirit-connected engagement. I work with techniques of spiritual and somatic psychology including  Focusing, Psychosynthesis, Jungian Dream Analysis, and Somatic Experiencing. My work with wounding and grief focuses on healing through the body which releases stuck pain without reliving traumatic events. I am both direct and supportive with my approach, offering a compassionate and growth-inducing environment. I work from a feminist, non-heteronormative, anti-racist lens, helping clients to build awareness around and free themselves from the embedded narratives we have adopted from our experiences of wounding both within our families and within our society. As a climate and social justice activist, I open space for clients to process their experiences living with climate change, injustice, and the harms of a society built on patriarchy, capitalism, and white supremacy. 

"Classical psychological theory tends to, by absolute omission, split the human psyche away from relationship to the land on which humans live, away from the knowledge of the cultural etiologies of malaise and unrest, and also to sever psyche from the politics and policies which shape the inner and outer lives of humans- as though that outer world were not just as surreal, not just as symbol-laden, not just as impacting and imposing upon one's soul-life as the inner din." -Clarissa Pinkola Estes 
You may be interested in individual counseling if:
  • You are looking for a deeper sense of meaning and authenticity in your life
  • ​You need support to work through and heal from past wounds or grief
  • You are interested in exploring your dreams as a way of deepening your self awareness ​
  • You identify as transgender or queer and are looking for a deeply affirming healing space
  • You have faced challenges regarding your spiritual or religious beliefs (including spiritual abuse or religious wounding) and need a safe place to heal and rediscover your spirituality
  • You are experiencing the impacts of climate change and need a validating space to emotionally process and navigate
I am very passionate about my work with both straight and LGBTQIA+ couples. You might be interested in my couples counseling if: 
  • You need support as a couple in getting out of negative cycles and building healthier ways of communicating
  • You are looking to deepen your relationship and grow your intimate connection
  • You are ethically non-monogamous and you are seeking support for your open or polyamorous relationship

It is my true honor to travel this journey with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment. In addition to in-office sessions, I offer virtual sessions via Zoom. 

I am a firm believer in making counseling accessible. I have developed a sliding scale that aims to attend to individual needs and our collective economic reality.  Click here for more information about my rates.
