In my early training as a counselor in the 1970’s, I was blessed to know the legendary Dr. Carl Rogers. As the founder of Person-Centered Therapy, he showed me how everyone’s way of “knowing” requires respect and room to grow. Our internal world does make sense and has scores of meaning to us yet we often can’t hear ourselves well. Through Carl and many outstanding teachers I learned ways of listening and guiding that helps you see how intricate, vital and wise you are. Thus your inner and outer worlds deepen in substance and bring greater fulfillment, ease and joy.
Today when I listen I am always impressed with the courage and resiliency of those who seek to change and grow. Your bravery both inspires and demands that I keep learning and expanding as a person and skilled psychotherapist.*
In psychotherapy my work is to translate your psyche and heart’s dialect. We team up to explore the paths of your past, present and future. Our time together evolves into a creative mix of tools, styles and discoveries. And I promise to offer a lighted beacon and sensitive compass when the way gets dark, scary or confusing.
