my practice | my approach

Relief!  Stressful relationships (personal, family, work), depression, anxiety, anger,

loss/grief and conflict are some of the things I can support you with in order to help

you find relief, clarity and well-being.  I am skilled at helping clients and couples stay

present, grounded and focused.

Emotionally resolving a less-than-ideal past (which often interferes with a satisfying

present) optimizes a desired and fulfilling future – a future you get to define and create

from your new found clarity.

My approach is mindful, non-judgemental, client-centered and grounded in the client’s

emotional, cognitive and physical present moment reality.

Most of us have heard variations on the benefits of being present;  Be Here Now.  I can

help you with being present; which is where cognitive and emotional self-awareness

is accessible.  Being present, with oneself and others is, I believe, the only place

from which effective, conscious, lasting choices and changes can be made.

Respectful and compassionate therapeutic interventions that are supportive, encouraging

and gentle [balanced with the appropriate amount of challenge] are what I bring to each session.

Creativity, intuition, and playful curiosity are always close at hand.

During my 20+ years in private practice  I have had the privilege working with people of different  ages

with different personalities, cultural and family backgrounds, experiences and concerns.

Particularly I have both personal and professional experience with those affected by the losses and

challenges inherent in  adoption  and also those in  LGBT  communities.
