my approach

True healing and the realization of what we really and truly want in life begins within a relationship of respect, acceptance, care and support for who we are in the world, right now.

Within that safe relationship container, I will help you reconnect with and trust your own thoughts and feelings again – your inner wisdom. Inner wisdom is our wise, innately given, guiding light.

To better understand what we need to heal and fulfill our dreams, we trust in our inner wisdom to help us uncover the truth. This truth creates fresh patterns of knowing that nurture relationships that serve us, and opens new unforeseen possibilities in our lives.

I use a unique, gentle and effective approach that brings together qualities of traditional client-centered and body-centered psychotherapy, breathing, mindfulness, energy healing, and the incorporation of music. This method safely and successfully helps people heal pain, release frustrations, gain clarity and actualize dreams.

I’m always happy to answer any questions you might have, over the phone. Give me a call and you can begin to gain a level of comfort with me and my approach. If it feels right for you, you can book an appointment to meet in my office.
