With over 25 years as a social worker and over 15 years as a psychotherapist, I believe in the power of change. I work with a variety of issues including depression, trauma, anxiety, substance use, obsessive compulsive disorder, anger management, relationship stress and codependence. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and active. With radical acceptance we will reflect on and move through difficult emotions and experiences deep down to the roots, through the trunk and ultimately up to the higher branches – the past, present and imagined future.

I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement & Desensitization (EMDR), both evidence-based modalities. I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) somatic work & Mindfulness. I often work with artists and enjoy helping others realize their full creative potential in any field. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am a musician, farmer and an occasional crafter.
