A warm welcome to individuals, couples & families! I specialize in helping you move from emotional distress & confusion to enhanced well being. Old family wounds or traumas, small or large, may be holding you back from your full life. You may have only a smidgen of hope. We can build on that hope. Perhaps you gained insight into yourself and your relationships from the on Enneagram or Myers-Briggs. We can build on your insights. You have lived in emotional turmoil way too long! Make one small step forward now! I have witnessed people moving from a place of hopelessness to freedom & deliverance from old lies.
I am a good listener. I listen with grace and take a non-blaming stance no matter whether you are 18, 30, or 50 years old. I want to see you & to hear your unique story. I encourage you toward growth — a gradual shift from old patterns to new — a shift of perspective or necessary action. Couples, individuals or families are my specialty.
Research tells us that those who feel good about their relationships & themselves live longer. You can choose freedom. Life still has its ups & downs. But at the same time you can experience hope. Covid has taught us that we need each other. Choose to ask for help. Be bold. Choose growth. Bearing witness to your journey brings me deep joy.

For clients we will delve deeply into your painful patterns & traumas. I help you name your emotional pain cycle that is keeping you stuck! It is hard to change something that does not have a name. With helpful techniques we can come up with a cycle of shalom or wellbeing. For those grieving, know that LA is inhabited by the "walking wounded". I welcome families, couples, or singles.

I am a Restoration Therapist utalizing principles from Dr. Terry Hargrave. Learning one's own pain cycle and peace cycle can be transformative. Clients find the restoration approach helpful in changing long time dysfunctional habits. I also employ principles from others schools of therapy that might be helpful.For children I use sandbox play, puppets, & art to assist them in learning new behaviors
