Expressive Art Therapy

This requires no experience, and it is non-threatening: there is never judgement. For example, I might suggest you make a collage and we would use it as a point of discussion to shed light on your issues.

Psychodynamic 

This method recognizes the role of your early life experiences and the (often unconscious) impact they continue to have on your life as an adult.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy

This would be a concentrated series of sessions about a specific issue, goal, or a hurdle you are grappling with.

Women's Issues

The over-arching umbrella of my expertise is women’s empowerment. I’ve taught, facilitated, organized, and provided individual therapy around issues such as self-health, sexism, abuse, adverse childhood experiences, recovery, coming out, relationships, sexual pleasure, reclaiming physicality & outdoor adventures, caring for the land, intentional community, & elderhood.

Personal Growth

Life is complex, imperfect, unfinished. Share with me your next step. You may have concerns about relationships, life adjustments, grief, trauma, fatigue, anxiety, depression, social justice, life’s meaning, aging, elderhood. My strength lies in supporting you to be more of who you want to be. I believe that all the answers are within you, and I integrate a variety of theories & models to fit your unique needs, comfort level, and sociocultural influences.

Racial Identity

This is a vital area of mental health. I identify as white, and therefore have responsibility to educate myself in the dynamics of identity, cultural oppression, systemic barriers, from micro-aggressions to blatant voting gerrymandering. Yes, I am woke, and making progress. If you are white, I will accompany you in social justice growth, including sharing and spending privilege. If you are a person of color, I will do my radical best to support, witness, empathize, and walk beside you.
