ABOUT
As a Psychotherapist, I approach counseling as a natural occurrence existing within contemporary life. Sessions are interactive and holistic, respectful and compassionate; employing thought processes, feelings and behaviors. (We often laugh a lot!) Although trained in both classical and contemporary theory and methodology, I see people as my books . . . and my library is constantly expanding. Nourished by my own experiences, those of my clients and the places we intersect, I serve as both companion and guide while my clients discover, own and embrace their own natural resources.
MY BACKGROUND
Beyond my academic education, my personally designed, experientially-oriented doctoral studies focused on accessing and optimizing my natural resources. This was accomplished through my work with the original leaders of a psychotherapy renaissance that originated in San Francisco during the 1960’s.
