My Philosophy...
I believe inside of you lies the wisdom for your path toward psychological, emotional, and spiritual health. My job is to help you get in touch with, and enhance, your own natural healing abilities. Trauma disconnects you from the truth of your own worth and significance, but no experience scars you for life unless you allow it.
I see individuals ages 10 and up, and couples and families. I work from a family systems perspective, and use a variety of methods, including EMDR, meditation and guided imagery, and the energy work of Reiki. I also incorporate useful ideas and techniques from other theoretical orientations such as client-centered therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, narrative therapy and mind/body work. The direction we take depends on you. My aim is for something good to happen every session, and for each session to build on the last toward a sense of wholeness, self-esteem and joy.
