My work is largely as an innate wisdom coach, I believe you'll learn to listen and trust your own innate wisdom, as we work collaboratively to move you past what's blocking wholeness. If given the right support and nurturance, our psyches, much like our bodies, will naturally move towards healing and higher consciousness. My work combines insight and intuition with a warm, open, and interactive style.
I am a seasoned psychotherapist in private practice for over 30 years, specializing in life transitions as a time of richness and growth. These include marriage, birth, parenting, divorce, aging, career transitions, and loss and grieving. I am a certified mediator and work with divorcing families in a collaborative way with lawyers and financials.
Life is but a series of transitions that even when anticipated or wanted, can be fraught with challenge. New chapters often have bumpy beginnings. While change will happen, transformation is in our hands. Choosing to reach out for support is a courageous move. I honor and respect that. Building a safe and trusting relationship is key in my work.
