I help clients find their unique selves and center and explore the beliefs and values that ground them as a person. I provide them with direction and support to maintain continued growth.

I've been doing this work for 46 years now, and still love it. And, I'm used to being successful at what I do. The challenge for me is people's "inside" language - what takes place beneath awareness. This is akin to the language of poetry and myth. I then translate between the worlds of "problem reality" and the deeper emergent Self - which is why I find this work rewarding. In working with couples I seek to translate the language (hopes and dreams) of each to that richer place between and behind - where hope becomes real. Go see my website.

I believe that there is no cookie cutter approach to therapy, and my therapeutic approaches are as varied as the clients I work with. Each person has unique experiences, perspectives, and needs that must be addressed; and I work to provide each client with a personalized experience. I take clients from all ages and backgrounds in an individual, couples, or family setting.
