The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

Psychotherapy
Becoming yourself is the ultimate creative act and the greatest gift you can offer to those you love, your community, and the world in which you live.
Cultivating a practice of curiosity, openness and generosity in your meetings with the unexpected, often unwelcomed, situations that arise as you go through each day is a subtle yet powerful art. Becoming yourself involves a deeper level of journeying guided by an inner companion—one who has seen the shadows and knows the way through sorrow to inner strength and compassion.
As you begin to meet your hidden self through dreams, active imagination, mindful self-attunement, and other lenses of the psyche, increasingly your vision will shift and your world will open to new possibilities and a more potent, soul-made life.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
- Mary Oliver
Our early childhood experiences echo through the stages of our lives, forming relationships and patterns which, unexamined, become increasingly limiting, dysfunctional and destructive.
And yet, locked in a vault with our earliest fears and traumas is the key to new life—the forgotten inner child who has accompanied us along the way, and who waits patiently to guide us to the joy, wonder and curiosity that is our birthright. Working together, we will find that key and begin restoring your self-esteem, creativity, and deep life force.
With patience, courage and self-reflection, you will increasingly embody the person you have always wanted to be in relationship with yourself and with others.
Couples Therapy
When you are out of sync in your intimate relationship—feeling lonely, dissatisfied, angry, or betrayed, you have the choice to find yourself and each other anew, or make a conscious decision to part ways.
In our therapeutic alliance, I will invite you and your partner to find your unique selves as separate individuals as you explore who you are in the complex matrix of marriage or life partnership. Too often we give up our hopes and dreams in search of security and stability. But to be fully alive and to experience deep satisfaction and trust in our intimate relationships, we must learn to support one another other in being who each is as a unique individual, endlessly wanting to know more about the other.
The liberation that results from this new awareness opens the way to a constant unfolding of desire, curiosity, and surprise, alive in ourselves and with one another.
