"My holistic approach offers compassionate guidance to help you live your life more fully. Sometimes our natural tendency toward health and wholeness can become blocked, causing us discomfort in our everyday lives and relationships. If you’re considering counseling, whether session-by-session or during a personal retreat, you’re probably aware of this discomfort, feeling sad or angry, anxious or inadequate. You may be experiencing frustration or confusion or what feels like a loss of heart or loss of soul, or, you may find yourself repeating hurtful patterns or being unable to heal old wounds and could use support to help you find solutions. My goal is to help you learn to move beyond fear and habit to explore areas of feeling and awareness that have been neglected or inhibited so that you may heal and grow. As you deepen your awareness and understanding of yourself, you awaken to a renewed sense of inner freedom, compassion and wisdom.
As your therapist, I am dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment where you can find a greater peace and connection with yourself. I meet with each person as a special, respected individual and invite you to describe what you wish to accomplish or what weighs heavily on your heart. I am available to see you in person for a single session, a series of sessions, on retreat, or for phone or email consultation. Please call or email for further information." |
