"I believe the most important element in the therapeutic relationship is
the connection between therapist and client — person to person."

     

What I bring to the relationship is warmth, caring, and a gentle and compassionate presence. I am honest and direct, yet open-minded and accepting in my approach. At the core of what I provide is an unending faith in your ability to transform the way you live your life.

My most important role as a therapist is to empower my clients. I support you in finding your own answers and solutions, gently guiding you to discover what works for you and facilitating the unfolding of your own process. Together we explore issues to promote your growth and healing. My aim is to foster inner trust and strength in order for you to experience greater joy, power, and freedom in your life.

In providing marriage counseling, I am dedicated to supporting both individuals and to valuing each perspective equally. I assist couples in developing better communication and conflict resolution skills to deepen their relationship. My intent is to encourage a greater understanding of oneself and the other person.

Seeking to utilize the most effective methods for healing, I employ both traditional and cutting-edge approaches, including EMDR therapy (www.emdr.com ) and EFT (www.emofree.com). These profoundly effective techniques engage the mind and body to provide relief from trauma and abuse, stuck patterns and beliefs, addictions, anxiety, anger, and grief. They also help strengthen internal resources and enhance performance. I am very excited about the potential of these tools to help make a difference in your life.
