"Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." ~ Goethe
At our practice, we strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience, I have honed my skills to offer a unique and personalized approach to counseling.
My Philosophy
My focus is on recognizing and supporting each person's inner wisdom and innate capacity for self-transformation. I believe that every individual has the power to make positive changes in their lives, and I am here to guide and support them through these transformations.
Services Offered
I offer a range of services to help individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals. These services include:
- Relationship difficulties: I work with individuals and couples to improve communication skills, resolve conflicts, and enhance emotional and physical intimacy.
- Emotional challenges: I help individuals identify and express a wide range of feelings, including depression, anxiety, anger, grief, fear, and despair.
- Spiritual concerns: I support individuals in clarifying their life purpose, aligning their behavior with spiritual values, and experiencing relationships as a spiritual path.
- Gender healing: I work with individuals who have experienced gender role conditioning and seek to move towards authenticity and self-awareness.
- Health and wellness: I help individuals manage stress, overcome substance abuse, and cope with chronic illness.
