""Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated."

My goal is to create a safe, respectful and caring atmosphere where one may explore and begin to understand one's thoughts, behaviors and feelings. To begin to understand is to open a door to accepting and loving oneself. Together with my clients, we explore their dreams, challenges and fears. Along this journey there can be self-discovery, problem solving and self love."

"Because of what has happened or not happened to us in our lives, we develop particular stories and patterned beliefs about ourselves that limit our capacity to be alive and open in the present moment. These stories and beliefs make it difficult for us to change and to create the lives we want. Words and talking encourage staying with these stories and beliefs and solidify them in the brain's neural networks. Working with images through dreams, sandplay, simply-made visual maps, and with the body's postures and patterns, surprises us with new information and insight so previously unknown possibilities can emerge."
