Welcome to the start of a new life and a more balanced and genuine you. By seeking counseling, you have taken the first step to make the changes you want to see in your world. Through our journey together, I provide non-judgmental support in a healing space. I address the whole person and emphasize balance in life. I provide an environment where your voice is heard and your concerns are met with compassion. I help you recognize that whether you are an individual, a couple or a family, your struggles represent opportunities for choices that lead to growth. I bring to the counseling relationship over 25 years of experience as a college educator, a research scientist, an artist, a student of world religions as an ordained minister, a hypnotherapist and a mental health therapist. My approach is to help you understand your life, your concerns and your path. I use an integrative approach honoring the whole person. I use psychodynamic perspectives, spiritual and philosophical counseling to help you understand and define your worldview. I help you re-frame your past experiences so as to align to a future that is genuine and representative of a balanced you. I help you turn difficulties in life into stepping stones to growth. I help you rewrite the story of your life.
