Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Growth, emancipation, transcendence and a genuine triumph for the human spirit, are goals I am concerned with helping people realize. I strive to inspire richness and meaningfulness in life, greater than one has ever known before. Knowing we share a common bond of being human, of being incomplete, of being subject to fate and frustrations, of seeking to have good lives, and of caring about what happens inspires the honesty and genuineness necessary to become willing to change and grow. Along with humor and playfulness, an attitude of mutual respect and genuine caring are ideal qualities in which this facilitating process can best occur.Let's listen for the music of our own sweet nature calling to us. Let's remember that the intention is to live who we really are. Let's remember how to move, where to begin, and how to be deeply compassionate. Let's open ourselves to the beauty that is around and within us even when we are in pain. Let's pay attention and surrender what we cannot control to the beauty, the Mystery, that keeps telling us who we are---now that's an act of power. Let's remember how to embrace life. With warmth and compassion, let me guide you through challenging life transitions and personal awakenings.
