Therapy takes many forms.  Sometimes, it is quick and transformational.  Sometimes, it’s slow and gentle, so as not to overwhelm your nervous system.  Together, we will craft an approach that work best for you.

I have extensive training in trauma therapy, couples therapy, hypnotherapy, and Shamanic Healing.  Although Shamanic Healing is typically outside of the scope of behavioral health, I use my training to work with metaphor, which is the language our limbic brains understand best.  And, my experiences in Shamanic Healing inform my work in transpersonal therapy.  My trauma training is a 3-year, intensive program, created by Peter Levine.  My couples therapy is a 2-year intensive program, created by Stan Tatkin.  Both are among the greatest therapist alive today.

I identify as trans-feminine tomboy.  I am a veteran crew of air-combat support missions, law enforcement, criminal justice attorney and college professor.  I became a therapist later in life, after finding relief from a traumatic childhood, through therapy.  Currently, my wife and I are restoring an old sailboat, to begin our next adventure.
