Whatever has brought you here, I've no doubt it's an opportunity to create something better. I can help you release old, painful patterns that go nowhere, so you can create the life you want. If you're on your knees in transition, grief and loss, I can support you through it. If you need some uplifting change, I'm an enthusiastic catalyst for you to be a game changer in your own life! You can rely on my 35 plus years of experience and will find me interactive, compassionate and generous with clear, inspiring feedback. We'll work as collaborators for your best evolution.
I do not sit behind a wall...I am genuine and engaged with you. I listen deeply to your concerns and respond generously. I offer my take and support you to connect with your unique wisdom. Whatever you bring, however broken you might feel, I see you as whole, no matter what you are dealing with. Our collaboration will invite new, enlivening choices for you.
Please feel free to contact me! I know it can feel difficult to reach out. I offer a complimentary half hour phone call so you can see if I am the right match for you. We'll have time to connect and go over the concerns that bring you to seeking therapy. You can ask me questions and if you want to, we'll take the next step and have a full length session.

I can wholeheartedly endorse Susan Kistin's approaches to healing and helping to make the client whole. Her wilderness experience is invaluable, and her knowledge of indigenous healing methods are great additions to her already warm compassionate response.

I meet you individually, from right where you are. Psychotherapy methods or theories come second to my understanding of who you are as an individual. My way is intuitive based and respectful of your unique concerns while drawing on somatic, psycho-dynamic, and nature based therapy as well as an attitude of levity as needed, because it can be a powerful ally in the success of your explorations.
