Presence Mental Health, LLC

I am deeply honored to accompany people on the journey of inhabiting life more fully, increasing presence, insight and healing. I have provided therapy for those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma related pain, chronic pain, somatic symptom disorders, PTSD, grief, existential crisis, and stage of life transitions. I am a clinical social worker and EMDR trained clinician with a certificate in Dream Tending from Dr. Stephen Aizenstat of Pacifica Graduate Institute. My practice is integrative, incorporating EMDR and Dream Work with Mindfulness Therapy, Grief Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have been a spiritual director for many years, currently serving anti-traffickers and survivors of sex trafficking. I received a certificate in Spiritual Direction from North Park University. While my therapy practice is distinct from my work in spiritual direction, I offer the same qualities of presence and attunement in therapy sessions. I have experience serving diverse people across the US and internationally. I earned a BA in Studio Art from Whitman College; I paint and draw, write and make music-- I experience the world through a lens of Beauty, and I approach therapy with this frame of reference. A person free to live from their most whole and authentic self is Beauty at work. It is a privilege to offer these therapeutic services in our valley.
