Practice and Philosophy

Practice Description

My simple goal is to provide a relational environment that is safe enough and supportive enough and free enough from judgment, that you can show up, no matter how you are feeling. My focus is threefold: how emotions get blocked in your body, your inner-world and your relationships. As we work together, your personal resources of mind and heart can be accessed, re-discovered or cultivated in ways that allow you to meet your problems head on; understand the issues in a new way; and master or make peace with any challenge on your life journey.

A practicing psychotherapist since the late 1970's, I have worked in private practice, community mental health, hospitals, a federal prison and non-profits, as therapist, supervisor, trainer & administrator.

I am interested in the deep patterns of body, mind and emotion; how they shape behavior and influence the quality of your life. I am humbled by and grateful for my chosen profession as it allows me to be with others at times of great challenge and times of great beauty.”
