Welcome
Hello! Welcome to my website, and thank you for considering me to accompany you on this sacred journey of counseling. I believe counseling is a powerful tool for overcoming obstacles to well-being and human flourishing. I treat clients with a wide range of issues, from existential issues and coping with the demands of life, to mood disorders and anxiety, complex trauma and PTSD, spirituality concerns and religious trauma, and men's and LGBTQi issues. Together, we will examine these problems, trace their origins to childhood and significant adult relationships, and learn new skills and new ways of relating to others and ourselves to rediscover well-being and flourishing in life.
I have a diverse background in clinical psychology (MA, 1998), comparative religion (MA, 2008), and the intersections of Religion, Psychology, and Culture (PhD, 2017) to help you find this wellbeing. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness and the contemplative traditions, pastoral counseling, EMDR for trauma, and DBT Skills. I will collaborate closely with you to find the right combination of approaches that best fit your strengths and needs.
If this resonates, please reach out through the message function of this page to schedule an appointment for intake. I look forward to embarking on this journey toward recovery, change, and growth with you!
