ABOUT ME: " I strongly believe all people (NO EXCEPTIONS) are capable of healing from even the most traumatic experiences and deserve fulfilling lives. Therapy provides an opportunity to clarify feelings and thoughts, increase awareness of constructive and destructive patterns, work through problems, and allow you to make informed, joy-filled choices. I relate well to people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Personally I have a multi-cultural family (Caucasian, Native American, African American, Hispanic, Jewish), including both adopted and biological children. I'm active in promoting peace and justice. CLIENT WRITES: "I have begun to love myself for the first time."

STYLE
IN THE THERAPY SESSION: I'm willing to use whatever approaches "work." My training in experiential methods (Psychodrama & Gestalt) helps you become aware of and reconcile conflicting emotional forces within you. I provide a therapeautic setting where you will feel safe and free to be yourself. Clients describe me as understanding, sensitive, relaxed, and caring.
I support whatever spiritual or philosophical beliefs you have to maintain your strength and relationship to the universe. CLIENTS WRITE: "You really made me feel comfortable and worthwhile." "I'm happily married because of you." "My entire life changed for my own good and the good of the world."
