Orientation &
Approach
|
My style is supportive, client centered, strength based, direct, and
utilizes a broad range of tools and approaches that are tailored to
meet your specific needs. I encourage authenticity in human
interactions. My orientation is often experiential, and works to
release old patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviors and to
acquire new skills, new thought patterns and ways of relating, thus
promoting integration and ideally, alignment with one’s Higher
Purpose on the planet.

Personal Comments
|
Every problem, no matter how hopeless or “stuck” it may appear, can
be transformed into an opportunity to develop inner strength,
reclaim forgotten parts of ourselves, and to gain a feeling of inner
and outer harmony and empowerment. I run a Theater Company, called
Playback Theater, whereby audience members tell a story from their
lives and watch them enacted on the spot by an ensemble of actors
and musicians. I am committed to honoring and illuminating the lives
of individuals and communities, to bear witness to the differences
among people and to foster the universality of the human experience
thereby creating inherent connection. It is my intention with both
my private practice and theater work to offer an opportunity to
re-envision yourself and your community with harmony.
