      Psychotherapy / Counseling

      My purpose as a professional is to provide you with an open and supportive place, so that you can explore whatever is important to you: your relationships, vocational choices, traumas, personal goals and/or blocks to what you desire to change.  I will also help you explore issues that may be impacting your growth that you may not have considered.

     There are many different types of counseling/therapy (eg: CBT, EMDR, family therapy, group work, etc.), and each has its contribution to personal growth/healing. I include many approaches in my work with clients. We will look at your present concerns in the light of patterns from the past, traumas you many have experienced, symbolic meanings  (relevant dreams, music, artwork, etc) as well as somatic symptoms that may be present. Somatic Psychotherapy is an approach to psychological growth and healing through attending to the body. It focuses on increased body awareness, allowing more comfort in feeling deep emotions, resolution of trauma, and the synchronizing of the body, mind, and spirit. Early in the field,  practitioners discovered that physical chronic pain often was related to memories and/or emotionally intense experiences that were "stuck." Practitioners realized that our thoughts, fears, memories, and even traumas--are not separate from our body--in fact, they are in our bodies. There is even a saying in the somatic field: "People hold their issues in their tissues." ​

I usually provide therapy in person, in my office/home office, and enjoy seeing clients in person--I feel it allows me to get to know you better and you to have a place away from the distractions of life so you can focus on the issues that you are wanting to address. So, I offer both in person and teletherapy sessions. Here is the link to my virtual office:
