My approach to counseling

My theoretical orientation is primarily from an intra- and interpersonal psychotherapy perspective. I create a therapeutic relationship in which my clients feel genuinely cared for, authentically engaged, and encouraged to have compassion for themselves which will enable healing and growth. I include spiritual awareness and development, when this is appropriate, to facilitate the integration of persons on all levels – spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and relational.

I have experience in working with

Women and men with depression, anxiety, loss and trauma
Couples counseling
Spiritual direction
Consultation to clergy and congregations
Event speaker and retreat leader
