Relationship to self is the foundation for all other relationships. I provide a relaxed environment in which we can work collaboratively to build your strengths, deepen your insights and increase motivation to move forward on your path. My direct approach, combined with deep compassion, respectfully supports your healing process, bringing you more fully into the present and more fully into yourself.  Look forward to enjoying a deeper connection in all of your relationships.

 

    Have you been burned by a previous counseling experience?        I offer a free 30 min. consultation to all clients.  Come on in and let's see if the fit is right for you.

 

My training is in marriage and family therapy , a systemic discipline focusing on all kinds of familial relationships and connections including how we interact with our greater culture and the communities in which we are engaged.  I also have specialized training and experience in addictions, eating disorders and body image, grief and loss, sexuality and gender issues, ADHD, parenting and adoption, couples counseling, diabetes, and a long history working with at-risk and gifted adolescents....all work I truly enjoy!  I am LGBT friendly.

 

My personal passion and scholarship focus is based in ecopsycholoy and our connections with the natural world, our body and structure and use of time.  I believe in the healing power of natural spaces and may suggest (if mutually agreeable) meetings outside the office in a nearby natural setting or walking and talking.

Together we will decide how long we will meet to reach your goals.  Because my approach to this decision is humanistic and solution focused, the length of our relationship may vary greatly.
