People come to me to heal from trauma, to find ways to face challenges of today, and to grow into who they long to be. Many wrestle with the effects of that trauma on their day to day lives and relationships. Others are struggling with questions of meaning and faith. Some wrestle with guilt and shame and seek healing on a deep level. All are looking to walk with integrity. I have spent over 35 years working with psychology and spirituality. I have a deep understanding of the spiritual teachings and practices of many religions, a personal engagement in Buddhism, and experience in psychotherapy helping people find healing and growth.
My specialty is working with psychology and spirituality. My Phd is in Psychology and Theology and my research focused on the use of mindfulness meditation in psychotherapy. I am also a Buddhist and a student of Pema Chodron. I use a person centered psychodynamic approach and draw on resources from meditation to journal work to art.
My therapy is premised on the belief that listening deeply to our own hearts can encourage healing for our wounded souls and can help release that life giving energy which is our birthright. Using an integrative approach I can help you rally your resources to make the changes you want to make in your life.
