I believe that more harmonious expressions of our beingness are always there, ready to emerge.

Picture
Psychological and spiritual practices have informed the way I inhabit my life and how I think about meaning-making in the world. 

I find the process of growth, self-discovery, steady releasing of limiting beliefs, and inhabiting a life of more freedom and spaciousness a thrilling part of being alive.  It isn't easy, but is rewarding. 

I draw on a fairly varied amount of life experience that has helped foster my openness and curiosity towards a wide range of people, perspectives, and experiences.  In previous phases of my life, I've taught community college, been a tutor, waited tables, hustled free-lance writing and editing gigs, and wandered around the world
with a backpack.  I've lived in Texas, Hawaii, California, Virginia, and Oregon. 

I love learning and have more books in my home than I can keep up with, and am dedicated to using my skills and knowledge, relational presence, intuition, and humor to help my clients.

My educational background includes:
  • California Institute of Integral Studies, 2011. MA, Integral Counseling Psychology
  • Goddard College, 2006. MA, Psychology and Literature
  • University of Richmond, BA, International Studies and Art History

My therapeutic background and ongoing training and interests have focused on:
Present-moment, mindfulness-based orientations such as Gestalt, Hakomi, and AEDP, Relational Psychodynamic work, as well as specific training in Couples Counseling encompassing both attachment and differentiation models
.
