"Let us give gratitude for all that happens to us - especially for the hard things, for they are the messengers of wisdom. Then we can loosen our grip of old ways and let our lives change." - Sobonfu Some'

HELPING YOU DEVELOP YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF Everything else stems from this. I believe that we are all a work in progress. It takes strength to know when to seek support. TOGETHER WE CAN UNLOCK YOUR BRAVERY AND YOUR SPIRIT as we learn about how you create and relate to the world around you. My STYLE is direct, honest and occasionally irreverent. Therapy does not need to take years and laughter can happen. My APPROACH is holistic and intuitive and with a sense of humor and belief that all things are workable. My INTENTION is to help you transform intense life experiences into opportunities for insight and healing.

RELATIONSHIP: I will assist you in building skills that move your relationship from conflict into deeper connection, intimacy and successful partnership.

INDIVIDUALS: I honor your unique story and assist you in quieting your mind and opening your heart. I believe everyone is a magical combination of mind-body-spirit. I teach you to deepen and trust your own intuition, your body's wisdom and to become more creative and empowered in your own life.
