My Approach to Helping

HOW I SEE MY WORK Dance like there is nobody watching, love like you have never been hurt, and work like you don't need the money. I never tire of seeing this one circulate repeatedly on the net. I love the implications I draw from it: Free yourself from inhibition based on the fear of humiliation, free yourself from the restrictions that fear would put on your heart, find your passions and let them guide your life. I believe that making more loving and intimate connections with other humans, nature, your deeper (or higher) Self, and The Sacred Mystery (by whatever name you call it), is the best way to find such freedom and passion. My work, whether with individuals, couples, families, or organizations, is to facilitate such intimacy. I love my work.
