Why Eight Arms?

“Because survival is insufficient.” It doesn’t matter if you came to this phrase from Star Trek or Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven. Humans are able to do so much more than simply “survive.” My approach and counseling technique is working together with you to do more, create more, explore more, love more. The octopus and my practice, with its eight arms, highlights eight primary values I hold as a therapist.

  • creative spirit

  • adaptability

  • resilience

  • resourcing

  • autonomy

  • meaning-making

  • trauma-informed care

  • identity exploration and affirmation
