By entering counseling, a person makes a commitment to pursue a more satisfying life for her or his self. The need for healing may take many forms - recovery from abuse or addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, spiritual seeking, or simply longing for a more abundant life, to name a few. However problems appears in your life, they present an opportunity for growth and a possibility for creating more of the life you want to have. Through weekly sessions, you and I can work together to understand the troubles you are encountering and to find ways to resolve the pain and struggle. In my work, I employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, bringing together the experiences of mind, body, emotions, and spirit, as is appropriate. By bringing compassion and curiosity to the work, we can create an atmosphere of acceptance and non-judgment for looking truthfully at whatever within you is longing for relief.
