Philosophy:
I have been a full-time therapist for fourteen years and have worked with more than 500 clients. My goal is to identify the patterns that are causing you trouble and find creative solutions. This involves the whole body, mind, and spirit--nothing is off limits as a venue for creative change. My training as a Gestalt therapist leads me to notice how your body is or is not incorporated into your decision making. I am more interested in helping you discover your own tools for solving your problems than offering you my ideas. I will actively engage you in session, and I expect that the work does not end when the session ends. You are the expert on you. My job is to help you discover what, at some level, you already know.
