My Approach to Helping

I have a strong comittment to bring compassion, curiousity and my True Self into my work. First, I help you get some relief from the initial concern. Next, we build new skills for more productive outcomes in daily life. At the same time we can deepen your internal awareness and gain greater access to the thoughts, feelings, and physical sesations which lead you to your innate wisdom. When we act from our innate wisdom we re-engage our natural resiliency, we feel more peaceful and are able to navigate life's challenges with grace and humility. This is my deepest desire for all my clients, no matter what their concern or issue. I believe our humanity is to be embraced, explored and given meaning. With patience and practice we can cultivate qualities needed to reveal our authentic selves, living with greater capacity and fulfillment. I readily employ a hearty sense of humor and am easily delighted by the wonders of all life. Finally, I am humbled by, and thankful for, the honor of being allowed into the emotional lives of the people I work with.

More Info About My Practice

In addition to working with individual and couples, I offer an ongoing group for women. In this group, we work with general life issues with concentration toward relationships, autonomy, self-care and authenticity. Many of us have not learned how to work with our own thoughts and feelings. Many feel overwhelmed by their own feelings, making it evermore diffucult to have healthy, reciprocating relationships. Often, we lose the enjoyment from our lives and relationships. We feel helpless and unable to be in command of ourselves. There are ways to regain our innate confidence and security. Mental health is not rocket science, it is a skill set, covering and coordinating thoughts and feelings. It is my job to help you gain mastery of yourself so you can have the life you honestly want.
