"Why spend your energy trying to cope with what is, when you could use it to create what you really want? I love working with people who are motivated to make significant life change, even if they don't know where or how to begin! I focus on teaching clients to separate thoughts from feelings, tap into their inner core of intuitive awareness, and use their own inner guidance system -- to move toward their goals, and away from old patterns and obstacles to growth. Along the way, we bring in interesting discussions, good books, homework, mindfulness exercises, and of course, some humor!"

"My practice operates from the premise that people are doing the best they can under the circumstances and that people have strengths, coping skills, and resilience that they are often unaware of. Life challenges happen to everyone. These challenges come in the form of relationships, physical & mental health, and unexpected experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope. It is often the attempted solutions to those challenges that then become the problems. My job is to guide and support the individual/couple/family in clarifying the impact of life's challenges so that workable solutions are found, to everyone's benefit."
