Individual, Family, and Group Psychotherapy
I am excited about being able to be with people
in a supportive milieu and to be able to practice psychotherapy
in a way that is more natural and alive than how I previously
practiced. As my husband and I are ourselves transforming,
becoming more balanced, and exploring our creative potential, I
am pleased to be assisting others with this evolutionary process.
I employ such tools as guided visual imagery, psychosynthesis,
repatterning, inner child recovery, hypnosis, etc. My philosophy
of healing is spiritually based - that is, I believe that
psychological healing takes place when the client acknowledges
and acts on the painful wounds and unmet needs of his/her soul.
I am happy to be of service to you.

Pathfinding Workshops & Seminars
As we proceed into more challenging and "interesting" times, we will need to employ our intuition in order to overcome the limitations of the intellect. For example, information overload (too much information) can result in indecisiveness just when inaction is not a viable option. At such times, only a developed intuitive sense can help us find the path forward.
The same thing is true when we sense profound changes in the world around us that make us feel anxious, but we don't see how we can effect our environment. Sometimes we need to make a leap of faith in order to avoid imminent danger. And other times we need to stand our ground.
Life is full of hard choices that have lasting consequences. Spiritual evolution is about bringing all of our gifts to the challenges of Life, making wise decisions about our values & priorities, and following through on our commitments. By showing up for Life we acquire the wisdom and confidence to continue climbing the mountain.
