If you are a struggling parent, a teen, or senior I am available to help in a caring and professional manner. Being alive today often means we struggle with motivation, organization, and staying on task. We once found comfort in our family or faith, but now we wonder who we can trust, and what our purpose is here in this confusing world.

I strongly believe in the mind-body connection. Without an activated, engaged body, our perceptions of self and other may become stagnant, negative, or distorted. I am offering walk-and-talk and other outdoor experimental methods, ( rock climbing, hiking, forest baths ), to assist in breaking through maladaptive patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. In addition to my therapeutic practice for 10 years, I have been an avid rock climber-paraglider, and have used movement as part of my practice. However, if a traditional office visit or telehealth is how you would like to do your work, then your self knowing of what works.
