Therapist Overview
I come to my work as a therapist from backgrounds as an artist, hospital oncology chaplain, art professor and activist, meditation teacher, lover of movement, backpacker Dharma bum, essayist, would-be trainer of rescue pups, and Buddhist nun. I’ve been around the block, tried many things, succeeded and failed, and carried my heart through many of this world’s wild, beautiful, boring, terrible, sacred spaces. All of which feels relevant to working with clients who dare to trust their creative and intuitive processes as they come into fierce, tender, inalienable wholeness. I work with Expressive Arts Therapy, inviting spontaneous creativity to access strengths and insights that may lie outside clients’ everyday perceptions. I also draw on Somatic Experiencing, a trauma-resilience modality that works with present-moment experience of the body. I offer meditation/mindfulness practices for self-regulation and resourcing.
