My training has included a broad range of approaches and perspectives. Graduate studies at Naropa University have included aspects of mindfulness and present-centeredness, wilderness and ecopsychology, as well as humanistic and transpersonal approaches. Following a passion for community and ceremony, my education has been supplemented with approaches such as somatic work utilizing the 5Rhythms framework, rites of passage and council process, and archetypal and shadow practice through the 4 Gateways coaching model.

The approach I take in the counseling relationship is holistic and interconnected, acknowledging that the road to wholeness often involves renewing connection to self and with other. This other can include human and non-human relations, the natural world, and spiritual aspects existence. I feel that by turning toward these connections in therapy, meaningful incorporation and change can become accessible and pervasive in one’s life.
