Chemistry and wavelength are the essential meeting place in the therapeutic connection. I have an intuitive, empathic ability and work with a wide range of issues. My experience with trauma and child- formative development is my guide to help you locate essential patterns. 

I have success focusing people on their true desires while addressing practical lifestyle issues. My  specialty in dual career goals evolved over the years when many people I worked with had passionate pursuits that challenged their financial stability. 

By creating a safe holding environment with me,  you can experience enough support  to find an awareness and  understanding to risk opening up vulnerabilities and possibilities and allowing  life to work for and with you.

I am certified in psychodynamics, EMDR, hypnosis and meditative techniques and Reiki, methods I integrate along with laughter to bring thought and feeling into alignment and connection which leads a person to a healthy perspective.
When you select the right fit and make it work, you can be happy.

I am skilled in couple work & divorce mediation to support clients to stay focused on the essential goals. 

In my blog, WHAT TO DO INSTEAD, I offer specific scenarios and guide people through the conflicts, offering many alternative ways of handling the problem.  Always looking with an eye toward connecting into your truthful feelings and then coming up with some choices that are mutually respectful and practical in bringing about the best possible outcome. 

When people find new skills that empower them to take care of themselves in challenging situations, they feel better. Clients will often report feeling, " much happier and confident, not feeling so alone because I know where to go." 

If you want to make a change, you need new strategies and there are so many things to try to shift internal and external circumstances.
