Psychotherapy

 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 skills and ways of listening and guiding that help 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, as a psychotherapist 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 skilled psychotherapist.*

In sessions  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. 

You will find my style to be interative as we work together in a partnering, therapeutic relationship.  Our work is holistic for we address all dimensions of your life and utilize a wide range of resources and perspectives.  I am focused in helping you define your specific goals and am flexible in ways which best meet your unique needs. And our work together will be confidential as I am not a part of managed care or insurance panels so session notes are private.
