How do you deal with change? Whether it be a relationship beginning or ending, pregnancy and parenthood, death, physical injury/illness, graduation, or moving, these and other life events will require us to reexamine our lives and make the necessary changes to accommodate them. Sometimes we seek out this change and sometimes it lands in our lap uninvited. Whether we embrace change or not, it is certain that life brings a constant stream of transitions.
I am passionate about supporting clients through the process of discovering their authentic self as they move through life transitions. We will embark on this therapeutic journey with curiosity, awareness, and authenticity. In support of finding your most authentic self, I will guide you in developing empathy and compassion for all parts of yourself, especially the parts that you may have hidden away from yourself or disconnected from, the ones that feel shameful, scary, or overwhelming. Through cultivating love and acceptance for your entire experience without judgment, new possibilities and more choices will reveal themselves. As you develop trust in your experience the hope is that you will meet these life transitions from a place of confidence.
Some of my identities include being a cisgender, heterosexual, white woman. I am both a teacher and student, a mother and a daughter, a spiritual being and a skeptic. I am a sister, a friend, a therapist, a creative. I celebrate, honor, and want to work with clients who don’t necessarily share my identities. I have embarked on a deep exploration both personally and professionally around my own whiteness and privilege and am committed to supporting anti-racist work and dismantling white supremacy.
I work intuitively, drawing from my toolbox the technique that best fits the need of my client in the present moment. I am curious about how each of my clients experience the world and I work holistically, attending to not only their psychological experience, but also their physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences.
My faith in the process of psychotherapy is rooted in my personal experience of participating in my own therapy and undergoing my own ongoing internal transformation. I have developed my own practices in mindfulness and meditation and have integrated them into my daily life.
I have a master of arts degree in integral counseling psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I counseled individuals at Church Street Integral Counseling Center where I received extensive training in gestalt therapy. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I was an elementary school teacher for 13+ years, so I have experience working with children, parents, and educators.
My style is rooted in awareness, particularly the body-mind connection. I find that my clients come to therapy wanting a different experience from the one they are currently having, bringing with them a wide range of concerns or issues that they want to work on. My intent is to provide a nonjudgmental and empathic space to support my clients in the courageous act of discovering who they really are. I see myself as both a witness and co-creator of the client’s therapeutic experience, walking with my clients on the path to self-discovery. What this looks like in each session varies, but it may include awareness and mindfulness practices, parts work, talk therapy, somatic-based explorations, or experiential experiments. I provide lots of space for my clients to explore their experience while also actively engaging in the process with my clients.
