My own experience of life has informed my practice as has my appreciation of the spiritual aspects of life. Depth psychology has long been an interest of mine since first reading Carl Jung's work in 1990. My practice is deepened by an appreciation of Buddhism and more recently neuroscience which provide more expansive views on how to work with the difficulties faced by simply being human.

Treatment Approach
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Transpersonal Therapy Integrates spirituality and higher states of consciousness with psychology. It encourages growth beyond the individual self.
Approach Description: As a therapist, I offer a balance between listening to and responding to your concerns. I pay particular attention to the feeling content of the session; offering support and a generous interpretation of what you bring. My intent is to offer a safe place to be, a sanctuary, where you can be with what is upsetting you; to meet it in a healthy way.

Most of us at some point in our lives need someone to talk to and someone to listen to us, someone that can provide us with a safe place to just be, a sanctuary that allows us to be with our feelings, to get in touch with our needs and our hearts. Whether it is relationship difficulties, job loss, illness, death of a loved one, addiction or mental health concerns that have brought you to my website, all these life experiences and transitions can tax our ability to cope in healthy ways leaving us stressed, sleepless and overwhelmed while the rest of our lives seemingly unravel.
We are all influenced by things that have happened to us in the past and these experiences can continue to influence us in the present in ways that may not be helpful or may thwart our growth. Once these influences are felt, understood, and integrated in a way that they become part of us, we can develop more resources to move forward in a healthier way. Therapy offers a balance of being with what has happened and moving forward to embrace new experiences. It involves risk.
