My Approach to Helping

"Tell me, what is it you mean to do with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver....

Imagine being able to easily access your strength and confidence, knowing who you are and what you do and don't like. Think of how it would feel to make life-giving choices in all areas of your life, without compromising your relationships. Imagine using your creative potential to its fullest.

Although you might be feeling hopeless and discouraged right now, the way through begins right where you are. As you acknowledge the way things are, healing can begin. When you stay close to yourself, and listen to the messages of your body and mind, you are surprised by the life, joy, and peace that are waiting to emerge from the heart of your suffering.

My specialty is body-centered psychotherapy and marriage counseling. I am also a Certified Focusing trainer (www.focusing.org) and Voice Dialogue facilitator (www.delos-inc.com). My passion is to support your holistic knowing: in your body, mind and spirit. I believe that it is only in a gentle, accepting, warm and sometimes challenging environment, that we can step out of our stuck self-concepts and discover the alive sense of well-being we were born to enjoy.
