Orientation & Approach

In a spirit of compassion and respect learn how to trust yourself and others, recognize your courage, clarity and take pleasure in your integrity and find support for spiritual, creative and cultural needs.  Understand and change patterns or relating individually or as a couple.

My theoretical approach is holistic, insight-oriented and eclectic, integrating family of origin, developmental, psychodynamic, systems, cognitive and feminist understandings, as well as addressing spiritual and cultural needs.

Personal Comments

The issues my clients deal with are important to me.   Each one of us is unique, with different needs and experiences, so I try to bring as much understanding and flexibility of approach as I can.  Because the healing journey often involves much vulnerability and painful sensitivity, I try to provide honest, truthful and supportive witness to people's stories.  As a seasoned and experienced counselor, I work with kindness and a sound knowledge of how to make the challenges of this journey safer, more clearly understood, and where possible, enjoyable.   I emphasize the integration of mind, body and spirit to help to create a framework of ethical, spiritual (non-denominational) and psychological understandings around relationship, self-and-other and community.  Both as a gardener and a writer I am familiar with the process of nurturing small beginnings into fruition, and the pleasure and satisfaction that this brings.  I believe our personal, cultural and spiritual understandings have much to do with the outcome of our lives: who we are, how we grow, what we make with our lives.  I believe we have considerable liberty to change, evaluate, and respond to our histories and the conclusions we have drawn from them.
