I help people to find and follow their highest path. Depending on the person, this could mean: Making peace with their past; Solving problems in the present; or Expanding their horizons for the future. It is my goal for my clients to move into the harmony they want to have in their lives. As a psychologist, I combine Western and Indigenous approaches to look at Body, Emotions, Mind, Spirit, and Relationships so that my clients can heal and grow on all levels.
I work with a wide variety of issues across the lifespan. The one thing all my clients have in common is that they are ready to do the hard work of learning and growing.
Clients who get the most out of our working together are ready to take notes, do homework, practice new skills between sessions, and learn a great deal. Think of our work as an intensive independent study that will develop your strengths in order to successfully overcome challenges.
