Are you anxious, depressed, having relationship issues? Are you going through a loss or life transition? Are you seeking more meaning in your life? Would you like someone who understands these issues, is honest and caring in the context of helping you move forward? Do you desire someone who has done their own emotional work & will honor your struggle while helping? Do you want to feel valued, safe and understood? Do you need someone to push you a bit into what you know you can do? Is it important someone listens and builds trust with you? Should someone see your strengths & potential solutions? Is spirituality an important aspect of your life? I bring a holistic approach, both practical & spiritual which includes emotions, thoughts, behavior. I utilize a variety of techniques. I offer the healing relationship described above. I can help you live more deeply and fully. Our "problems" can be guides that lead to greater health & a richer life. My interest & ongoing training is Jungian Psychology. This perspective allows me to not just address the symptom, but the underlying issues to create real change. My extensive work regarding culture enriches my understanding of people of color. I integrate my study of other theories into this frame. -20+ years working with foster/adoptive children & their families including parenting skills. -Work with people of color,adolescents and women. -Addictions work -Trauma therapy -Spirtual understanding -Work deepening a sense of meaning and joy in life.
