Integrative Psychotherapy, Consulting, Coaching, and Mentoring
Are you wanting to have greater awareness, clarity, and authenticity? Are you wanting to presence your life with a deep inner listening and witnessing? Do you desire positive changes in your life that fit with your deepest held values? You can have a deeper acceptance of what is and be more of your authentic self when mindfulness, self-compassion and loving presence are cultivated. You can learn that you are not your thoughts or your symptoms. Symptoms can be a gateway to a deeper calling and healing. So rather than just get “rid” of symptoms, I invite a deeper exploration of what is being communicated by the body and emotions though somatic awareness. It is there that you and I can find a way to journey towards your wholeness. This takes time and compassion as we move through layers of defenses and strategies that have kept us “safe”. I like to think of healing as an “ inside job” as we begin to listen and respond to our unheard cry which may show itself through physical and emotional distess.
The practice of self-compassion is a key component to healing. Your relationship to yourself impacts other relationships you have with people and situations in your life. Examples of this might be setting boundaries, authentic/honest communication, and undoing co-dependent behaviors. When you understand, accept and respond to your own feelings and needs, you can begin to live a life that is more uniquely yours.
I see my role as a psychotherapist, consultant or mentor is to include “being” with you rather than “doing” for or something to you. I ask as your role as a client, that you participate with and not just “consume”. This means at times you will have the opportunity to engage in the homework, reflections or meditations that can help facilitate your process. Participation also invites you to take responsibility for engaging in your own well-being and to choose to thrive in your life. While there may be challenges, one can also participate in those situations that feel demanding just by acknowledging and being present to what is arising with self-compassion.
I specialize in transpersonal and psycho-spiritual psychotherapy. Specific approaches may include mindfulness, self-compassion, somatic psychotherapy, empathetic distress, communication skills, dream work, and other holistic approaches. I see individuals with life changes/dissatisfaction, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, cross-cultural challenges, spiritual abuse, cancer, Lyme and other chronic illness.
I offer Telehealth and in-person sessions.

Birthright - by Danna Faulds
“Despite illness of body or mind, in spite of blinding despair or habitual belief, who you are is whole.
Let nothing keep you separate from the truth. The soul, illumined from within, longs to be known for what it is.
Undying, untouched by fire or the storms of life, there is a place inside where stillness and abiding peace reside. You can ride the breath to go there.
Despite doubt or hopeless turns of mind, you are not broken. Spirit surrounds, embraces, fills you from the inside out. Release everything that isn’t your true nature. What’s left, the fullness, light and shadow, claim all that as your birthright.”
Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
