CLIENT FOCUS

CHILDREN

I work with those 10 years and older through creative and therapeutic play. Healing comes as we move from internal chaos to resolution, in an atmosphere of safety, acceptance, and peace.

ADOLESCENTS

I love helping teens find identity and unlock potential. Together, we’ll work through anxiety, depression, and more, with caring conversation and creative exploration of life.

ADULTS

Whether working through new challenges, considering professional adjustments, or reflecting on life's joys and regrets, you’ll find a safe space, a place of clarity and refuge.

CREATIVES

Musicians, authors, painters, and other artists, we will work with the symbols emerging in your creative projects and invite you to bring your craft right into session for exploration.

SPECIALTIES

SPIRITUALITY

With formal training and a Doctor of Ministry degree, I have a wide range of expertise in the areas of spirituality, world religions, cults, and religious deconstruction, as well as trauma coming from adverse religious experiences and spiritual abuse.

LIFE TRANSITIONS

It is a special honor to sit in liminal spaces with those who feel stuck and have trouble finding purpose in life. True of young adults, middle-aged individuals, and seniors alike, the search for meaning is common to all.

PSYCHOSIS

Paranoia, delusions, hallucinations, nightmares, and disorganized thinking are some of the terrifying symptoms of psychosis, whether it happens once or on a daily basis. Together, we'll access symbols of the inner world to find balance and relief.

DREAM WORK

Swiss psychologist Carl Jung said, "The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the psyche." Through examination of dream symbols and themes, we'll look together for clues coming from the deepest part of the soul.
