My View

There is a part of ourselves that yearns for health and wholeness, integration and vitality, connectedness and intimacy. Yet we can feel fragmented, disconnected and empty. We may find ourselves in situations which we are painfully called to adjust OR we may be stuck in unhealthy, repetitive patterns that hurt us and others-resulting in feelings of anxiousness, depression or loneliness.

As we become more aware of our needs, the door for healing opens.

I believe therapy is an opportunity to gain insight and new strategies for dealing with life issues. Therapy opens new doors for people who are facing challenges and assists then in making choices. I believe that the power of change and growth lies in each of us. I welcome the opportunity and privilege of journeying with you towards that greater health and wholeness.
