I believe everyone has an innate strength and resilience, an authenticity that is limited only by inaccurate beliefs and interpretations of life struggles and challenges. My work with clients is geared toward identifying and removing those blocks to create space for the authentic self to flourish. I counsel individuals, couples, and families wishing to work through past or current trauma, or struggles with day-to-day challenges. I bring over 30 years working with recovering alcoholics and addicts, studies in psychology, marriage and family/mental health counseling, meditation and yoga, and a deep connection with nature to my practice. I also incorporate Mindfulness techniques and Attachment Theory, as well as Play Therapy with younger clients. My experience is that the collaboration between myself and my client produces an experience greater than the sum of our individual experiences (synergy) and that there is a benevolent energy, a Flow whose only requisite is intention to be present. It is my intention to provide the atmosphere and tools to access these experiences.
