The descent into the depth always seems to precede the ascent.

-Carl Jung

My Services

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy is a space to listen to what your soul (psyche/deeper self) is longing for. The root meaning of psychotherapy is soul healing. I specialize in working with clients (of all ages) who feel stuck, disconnected, or confused. You might be experiencing this as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or in a variety of other symptoms. My goal is to journey with you into the descent, believing that flourishing and aliveness are waiting for you.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a space to explore relationship and sexuality issues. I approach couples therapy with the perspective that problems in long-term relationships are normal and are an invitation towards growth. I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing disconnection. This might look like patterns of reactivity and/or withdrawal, defensiveness, criticism and blaming, or a myriad of other dynamics. I work directly and collaboratively with you towards greater connection and intimacy in your relationship.

Group Therapy

Group Therapy is a unique opportunity to learn more about yourself in the context of a group. Process groups focus on the here and now rather than family of origin or historical events. This is a powerful space to notice your patterns and dynamics in relation to a group of 10-12 people. No prior therapy experience required.

Contact me for details about upcoming groups.

Wilderness Retreats

Wilderness Retreats include a variety of opportunities to do therapy in nature. Whether it’s silence and solitude with facilitated therapeutic support, curated ritual making, or exploring internal re-wilding, all wilderness retreat offerings seek to be soul-oriented and nourishing. Day retreats, weekend retreats, couples retreats, etc. are offered throughout the year.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
