Home
I believe that everyone needs support at one time or another to deal with the complexity of new situations brought on by life transitions--whether divorce, sending children off to college (or pre-school), or grieving the loss of a parent.  I enjoy helping clients through challenging experiences and issues, including stress and anxiety, depression, finding a sense of life direction, and recovering from cult experiences. 

I like to help you gain self esteem, find your voice, gain confidence and feel more comfortable in your own skin.

I enjoy working with and appreciate the gifts of sensitive and intuitive clients. 


My Therapy Style

My work is strongly influenced by my training in the Hakomi Method of body-centered psychotherapy.  Hakomi work is gentle and respectful, and supports the safety of the client.  As safety grows, your unconscious becomes our ally.  Using curiosity, mindfulness and body awareness, I assist you in learning about your self and finding ways to support your own natural healing process.  In sessions, sometimes we talk; sometimes we pay attention to your emotions and the cues your body gives us.  We can learn much by giving awareness to your experience in the moment.  Experiments we devise together in sessions also assist in deepening into and unfolding past experiences and the meanings and beliefs they carry for you.  Through this process, old stories can be updated and transformed.
