My Approach to Helping

Together with Susan DePalo, R.N., we address your emotional traumas--origins and evolution, toward healing and empowerment. Pain and anger, relationships, functioning, are intertwined and laid down in our early years as we are born into intense relationships that shape and direct our being. We may gain access to these issues and processes, be aware of choices we have made, take responsibility and make new ones.
