About

I believe we come to our most difficult passages in life at opportune times in order to grow toward our true capacity and purpose. I respect that my clients possess the seeds of awareness and expertise to find answers and solutions to their own problems. My role is to facilitate a compassionate perspective to assist in working through difficult emotions, reactive defenses, or protective habits, and open attention back to fruitful areas. I am an advocate for personal development, collaborating in finding useful vantage points for expanding visibility, encouraging resolution, and resumption of the innate growth process. Mindfulness-based approaches which access mind-body awareness such as I.F.S. (Internal Family Systems), D.B.T., E.M.D.R., and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy reconnect us with our natural healing capacities. Compassionate relational connection with Self and any aspect of our life system opens the way for resolution of a wide range of psychological challenges.
