Working experientially & somatically with mindfulness helps individual's access issues directly. A client's insight is worth a thousand words! I facilitate emotional well-being regarding personal and relational difficulties, grief, codependence, partners coping with sexual addiction, betrayal, divorce, sex, trauma, developmental wounds, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and self-image issues. Mindfulness in therapy gently reveals strengths as well as undesirable behaviors. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, individuals are invited to explore issues that often reside beneath consciousness. By becoming curious about who we are, we begin to accept our humanity in order to heal. Methods include: Contemplative Psychology, Hakomi Experiential, Brainspotting Trauma, Gestalt, Person-Centered, Gestalt, TA, & Brief Therapy.

I have been in practice for over 30 years, specializing in healing chronic trauma, relationship work, addictions, grief and the eldering journey. I have a Mobile Psychotherapy practice that can go to residences and is fully covered by medicare and supplementary insurance.
