Great to meet you!

I am dedicated to helping every person become as fully aware of their gifts, potency, loving presence, and joy.

I have worked with families, couples, and individuals. I have special experience with addictions, parenting, anxiety and panic, existential issues, and trauma.

I have experience in the business and corporate world with an eye toward excellence without sacrificing our values and health.

My approach to therapy

I believe that therapy is divided into two main areas to explore;

1) the shadow... shadow material is typically what is impacting our lives in a restrictive manner. It is that which we have not integrated, accepted, realized. It manifests as, for example, us doing something that we can't stop... whether that be an addiction, a pattern of behavior, an outcome at work or home, or a physiological process such as depression, panic, or anxiety that is preventing us from living life the way we want.

2) the light... our light, our YES, our higher self, our access to living in accordance to our gifts and vision.

Most therapies spend a lot of time exploring the shadow material. Makes some sense. If something is an active block, then by all means work on figuring that out, remedy it, then YEA! No block and we live life fully. Somehow, however, this does not always go according to that plan. We will certainly spend time fixing a shadow element that needs fixing, however, I believe that, our capacity to explore our shadow is limited by our capacity to accept our light. Thus, I try to move therapy along as fast as possible to the exploration of light... of yes.

Since we all want to live our lives from an empowered and potent place, then let's work on that in therapy.

What you can expect from me

That we jump right in. We won't spend extra time dancing around things... let's get right to it.

Of course your story and history are important, we'll have room for them. And I like to lead from a positive, strengths-based place.
