Alice Miller writes, "In order to become whole we must try, in a long process, to discover our own personal truth, a truth that may cause pain before giving us a new sphere of freedom." The odyssey toward a personal sense of wholeness is perhaps a forever condition; and along this journey are inevitable peaks and valleys. Psychotherapy and the relationship established there can be a useful tool in this pilgrimage toward greater insight, compassion for self, and an increased sense of wellness. I believe that each person's path is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the specific needs and goals of my clients.

Ultimately we want to support parents, children, siblings, and all other members of our family alike.

As Pema Chodron writes: "things are always in transition, if we could only realize it." Life's fluctuations are not easy, but I believe acceptance and self-kindness are essential to growth. Our ebbs and flows make things like our self-esteem hard to stabilize, but therapy can give us a truer evaluation of our worth.

I believe we are all on a journey to know ourselves. What do you care about in this life? Are you living in a way that is in harmony with your values?

I have a warm, calm and accepting presence and enjoy examining the work from multiple perspectives.

I incorporate metaphor, analogy, art, music, play, mindfulness and relaxation to more fully explore the self in moving toward expression and authenticity.
