WELCOME


SEEKING HELP CAN FEEL LIKE A BIG STEP

While searching for a therapist can feel like a daunting task, it can also be a
meaningful experience. I offer an open and compassionate environment where you
can examine, process and transform the challenges you face in your life.

So how do you choose a therapist? The process can start by asking a trusted
friend or health professional for make a recommendation. After becoming
acquainted with how someone works, you may have questions or you may be ready to
set up an appointment. My years in private practice have taught me that one
often chooses a therapist based on a sense that this is a person I can trust to
listen to both my stories and struggles with respect and compassion.  Also, this
is a person that I feel can provide strength and guidance while doing my
personal work. 

You may be new to therapy or maybe you have tried it before. My approach can
differ in some ways from standard talk therapy. The methodologies that I draw
from recognize a connection between mind and body and use a state of
consciousness called "mindfulness" as a way to observe inner experiences that
may be barely within cognitive awareness. This approach will take into
consideration mannerisms, gestures and movements as possible pathways. These
pathways can lead to deeply held beliefs, perceptions and patterns that are
necessary to connect with in order to do the important work of healing. This way
of working does not discount thoughts or verbal expression but rather provides
more resources to draw from. 

I bring 30 years of experience to the field of psychological growth, counseling
and therapy. I began my clinical work in 1987, working with individuals, couples
and small groups. I have taught workshops and trainings internationally,
culminating in two professional trainings in New Zealand.   However, I find the
greatest joy working with my clients in private practice.  It is a privilege and
joy to witness the immense dignity, strength, kindness and hope that people find
within themselves during times of personal suffering. 

The following pages will give you more detail about my therapy style and
background. I work with adults, teens and couples.  Please feel free to contact
me through email or a phone call with any questions that you may have.
