We each have the wisdom within ourselves to guide us on our life journey. However, we often forget to listen when life around us is loud, confusing or perplexing. Additionally, childhood trauma or old baggage interferes with our listening ability. These distractions prevent us from hearing our own inner wisdom. I am a sojourner with my clients as I help them learn to listen to their own internal wisdom. Together, we work to discover inner healing, peace and life balance in their lives.
I have expertise in traditional modalities (psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, DBT) as well as non-traditional ones like sandtray therapy, art therapy, EMDR, dreamwork and spiritual direction.
