Licensed in OR and CA. I work with individuals, couples and partnered adults to create a collaborative relationship. Fully understand your Self in relationship and what is happening for you in the present. In a safe holding, we explore the nature of the context in which you came to know yourself and understand your current situation and what you experience now. This process provides for flexibility, resilience, whole presence, agency and efficacy. When you know who you are and can be compassionate and accepting of yourself, resourcing and negotiating your needs in the world becomes both more peaceful and more satisfying. I practice relational psychodynamic psychotherapy and have been providing psychotherapy for over 20 years to a range of people, including sexual and gender queer, poly and kink, people with complex PTSD, mood disorders and in transition. I have also completed core skills training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. Attachment strength based. Reaching for help is courageous. Hope is a high-risk project for everyone. For some, the stakes feel higher when injuries, oppressions and invisibilities have arrived in the midst of living. Most of us are longing for a safe space to be known and learn what is best for us. I invite you to contact me and find out if I might be useful on your journey home.
