The basis of my approach as a therapist, is to create a presence of unconditional acceptance that respects the clients unique perspective and place of suffering. This acceptance creates a safe, non-judgmental space which allows the client to gain greater trust and confidence in the process. I work from a holistic perspective which is based on a belief in the interdependence of mind, body and spirit.

The qualities of a happy and fulfilled life can be divided into separate areas such as physical health, social support, family life, religion and spirituality, etc. The health of each of these is uniquely important as it contributes to the whole.

This work toward wholeness comes from the inner, innate wisdom of the individual client. I see my role as being a facilitator of healing by creating a safe, nurturing space for this to happen.

Finally, it is with reverence and awe that I join with clients in their journey of self-exploration and personal growth. I honor the deep and profound mystery of the healing process.

My therapy practice is further enriched by a life experience working in diverse ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic settings.  In the past I have volunteered with service organizations in such countries as Haiti, China and India and continue to do so here in the United States.  And my years of committed practice to body-centered meditation has contributed to my awareness and appreciation for the mind/ body/ spirit interconnectedness of all beings and its essential role in healing.
