As a counselor who values spirituality, I formed this group after encountering spiritually minded people from various faith traditions who, while valuing their religious upbringing, find themselves seeking a more interactive relationship with The Divine than their religious structures provide. Our time together will be a mix of learning (cultivating awareness of The Divine; accessing emotional movements within ourselves; and discerning how to respond to these movements in real, pragmatic ways) and personal sharing. Please reach out to me to set up a time to discuss if this group is a good fit for you!

The author J. K. Rowling states: 'To hurt is as human as to breathe.' The good news is this: your pain doesn't have to last forever--there is a way through it. Every person's process of growth is unique, and I draw from multiple therapeutic models to help my clients find a more life-giving way of being in the world. I've taken this journey myself, and I look forward to accompanying you as you take yours.
We provide individual, couples, and family therapy as well as academic and employment coaching to our clients.
All of us -- women and men, young and old, poor, middle class and upscale folks, minorities and majorities -- have to deal with complexity and change. As a therapist I help clients heal past hurts, manage present challenges, and work together to create satisfying future lives.

Their difficulties range from anxiety and depression, to stress disorders, relationship problems, employment issues, and bereavement. Many of these women and men report quick progress in better managing their personal, family, academic, and work lives.
