I work with people who face challenges that often arise in the second half of life such as, the trauma of illness & death, caring for aging parents, loss of satisfaction or sense of meaning in relationships and work, loss of a job, isolation, and loneliness. These challenges can often be baffling and carry symptoms of depression, fear and anxiety. The rational mind may understand what is going on but somehow the emotional and physical body can't always take solace in rational solutions.
So much of who we are is established early on within our family systems. When we explore our present day patterns of thinking and feeling and our actions and reactions we develop a reflective mind that grows in understanding and acceptance.This new awareness leads profound and satisfying changes.
I have a number of tools I use in my work: Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Somatic Interventions, Post Induction Therapy, & Interplay to develop creativity. I've discovered that when people resource their creative nature, sense of play and their own unique spirituality they often realize solutions that work.

I am not a provider for any one insurance company. I do give clients a super bill or an invoice if they request this and the client in turn can submit this to their insurance company. My clients normally pay out of pocket before the session begins.
