My Approach
Strong feelings need a safe place to be heard and cared for. Would you like to be really listened to, with deep empathy and compassion, without being judged, criticized, or given advice?
This is my forte.
Wouldn't it be valuable if you could also learn to treat yourself with compassion?
I can help you relate to difficult feelings and experiences with kindness and understanding. This is an essential aspect of the healing process, and it is the emphasis of Inner Relationship Focusing, one of my specialties. I also incorporate Expressive Arts Therapy as desired, which adds another powerful dimension to support your healing. I am happy to also offer walking therapy to interested clients. See Client Focus and Specialties for more information about who I work with and how.
It is my great honor to accompany people on their journeys of healing and discovery. Our work together can be a powerful collaboration, supporting you in developing and meeting your goals for your inner and outer life. My ongoing study and integration of transformational therapeutic approaches provides me with a wide range of techniques to support you in addressing difficult life circumstances and discovering more joy.
