Therapy is neither magic nor science, but I believe that therapy has the potential to be magical and transformative. I offer a warm, supportive environment to help individuals explore deep trauma as well as ordinary issues that impact daily life and long-term goals. I strive to inspire creativity through nature, and incorporate creative arts into my practice.
My specialties: LGBTQQ issues/identity, working through grief/loss, helping with political wounding, healing survivors of domestic violence/sexual assault, positive aging, body image, building long-term relationships, and life transitions. A veteran career counselor, I've over 7 years of experience providing career counseling and coaching.
My focus: LGBTQQ issues-- the intersection of sexual orientation/gender identity with coming out; gender identity development, expressions of alternative sexuality; strengthening individuals in long-term relationships; queer aging. And, Life Transitions: individuals working through grief and loss, living with chronic pain; helping survivors healing from socio-political trauma; and promoting positive aging.
I am a feminist therapist, an Eco-therapist, who deeply appreciates connection to the earth and the healing power of nature. I am also a vegan who values the lives of non-human animals. And, I am a California State Certified Domestic Violence Advocate experienced with sexual assault and related trauma issues.
