Practice Information
If you are in a relationship or a marriage and wish more tools to effectively and lovingly connect in meaningful ways, I can assist you. I am a certified Imago Relationship Therapist (advanced clinician).

If you are an individual wish to move to a better state of emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing and to move through issues, I am happy to assist you with a variety of methods that best suit you. These methods might include talk therapy, mindfulness meditation, Heart Math for stress reduction, art, or EMDR, and sometimes yoga. EMDR has been very successful as a tool to assist those wanting to work through traumatic events and issues so that you can be freed from the pain and triggers from the past.

Psychosynthesis principles that assume that each person has a wise self within and that we can move to greater states of integration and wellbeing underlie my work as a therapist.

Bio:
I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist for 27 years. I have facilitated hundreds of workshops and training programs over the years, all with the intention of enhancing personal and spiritual growth. I have trained therapists in Psychosynthesis principles and methods since 1986 and provided supervision, and co-faciltated a Sound Mystery School for seven years. My husband and I have a peace chamber in the tradition of Joseph Rael on our land and offer many programs through this venue. I am also a yoga teacher, certified through the Yoga Alliance.

As a therapist, I see late adolescents and adults of all ages with about half of my practice being with couples and the other half with individuals.
