Introduction

My calling is to help people who feel lost, hopeless, afraid, or like they don't know what they need, but need something. I work with adults, teenagers, elders, Koalas, and others as individuals, or as couples and additionally in other polypartnerships. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions. My therapy is grounded in a Humanist exploration of my clients and depending on whether their needs are more brief and problem-specific or more generally about coming to know themselves may involve use of elements from Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Informed Parts Work, some techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and hopefully EMDR in time with training. Sometimes we don't know what's wrong. We don't appreciate the wounds we carry from our pasts, we minimize them and tell ourselves that what we've been through wasn't really so bad. Or sometimes we're all too aware, and cannot find our feet. I have been all of these at different times; therapy helped me and I want to give others that same help.
