I work primarily with people whose lives have brought them to a place where they want support to work through difficult, stuck, or critical times. What often appears problematic is evidence of a solution trying to happen. My approach is to join my clients in their quest for resolution and happiness.
This can happen at any stage of life. Often when the time is ripe for forward movement, the fog clears a tiny bit, the human stirs awake, and the most intense pain, desire, or distress is felt. This is a good time for therapy.

I have an MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I have done both hospice work and meditation for twenty years as ongoing practices in personal growth and development.

My approach to working with my clients is to offer a fundamentally safe place and a trusting relationship within which whatever is happening can unfold. I generally try to slow things down a bit and encourage my clients to bring space and awareness to their conditions, especially to what they think of as the problem area.

Report
I had a pretty bad experience with this counselor. I called because of a crisis with a family member. She didn't call back when she said she would, and then was really hard to schedule with. In session she started confronting me before she had gotten to know me well enough to establish a rapport. Also, she disclosed that she didn't have kids, but acted like she needed to protect my teen from me. Obviously doesn't know about parenting teens, but then don't go in to that.
