I help people get stronger and more resourceful to live with intention and joy.

It can be tough out there. I work from a position that views the human body and mind as wired for connection and creativity. However, learning to be ourselves is a road with obstacles as well as rewards.

My goal is to provide you with tools in this collaboration. It is very hard to surprise ourselves in our own minds. Psychotherapy, coaching or consultation can open up avenues that we did not know were possible. The goal is learning to show up for yourself and aligning with what matters to you.

WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE

Everyday we endure a world that prioritizes optimization, individual achievement and conformity. The pace and pressures of life can pave over the feelings that would help us discover what matters most. It also robs us of embracing our humanity with its flaws and complexity.

I have spent several decades teaching, consulting to organizations, and working in private psychotherapy practice. What remains constant is change and that we inevitably become what we do, whether we are intentional about it or not. So being intentional has a lot of upside.

Psychotherapy is a thoughtful, movement practice towards becoming intentional by building resilience, resourcefulness and flexibility. Somehow along the way, we adults have learned that life is supposed to be a straight line of building blocks and play has long been left behind. But often life is just a scramble. We live in a zero sum, win /lose, success /failure world.

But we do not have to accept that story, nor is it useful. My background gives me the tools to calm anxiety for the in-between parts of going from here to there and making somethings new.

WHO I WORK WITH

I see people who want to change something, feel stuck, or not know what the problem is. There is always an underlying story to help make sense of things and light a way forward. Some or these may include:

• moving towards what scares us
• developing connections
• becoming more flexible and open
• navigating difficult relationships
• navigating conflicts and change
• dealing with loss and regret
• making things new
• making friends with our inner critic
• thinking maturity is getting rid of flaws
• burnout
• embracing our humanity while developing courage, resilience and humor
