Therapy is a unique opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and achieve any changes you want in your life. I will facilitate your exploration and offer my skill and insight in service of helping you to engage life more fully.

I have a warm and non-judgmental style and provide a safe, compassionate and supportive environment. I draw on my experience and extensive training, and I use wide range of appropriate therapeutic methods to help you deepen your self-understanding. Through our work together, you will begin to experience new intimacy and harmony in your relationships, an enhanced sense of well being, increased feelings of confidence and empowerment, and an overall sense of satisfaction. Together we will come to to know what is standing in the way of you living a full, rich, and satisfying life. I am committed to guiding and supporting you through the process of accessing and living from your deepest truth. I invite the integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit in my practice and in everyday life. Using mindfulness and body awareness techniques, I will help to facilitate a more integrated approach to being in the World.

Please look at this website and contact me to find out more or make an appointment. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Weekly Meditations!

It is a great way to take a small break in your day. Read the Meditation, sit comfortably, close your eyes if you like, and notice how you are feeling, then take a deep breath, and let go, relax and allow your imagination to take you away. Enjoy!
