Do you need to talk with someone who is caring and confidential as you figure a few things out? Would you like to grow beyond your usual ways of dealing with life, develop more of your untapped potential, and find deeper meaning? I am kind, smart, and creative, with an engaging, conversational style of doing therapy. I will get to know you as the unique person you are, and together we will discover how the changes you are seeking can be realized.

People who have worked with me report that I have a warm, intelligent and down to earth, positive style of relating. I listen well and I give constructive feedback in a conversational, back and forth way. In addition, I have several other ways of working, like Voice Dialogue, that can potentially accelerate how quickly you achieve your goals. Sometimes the work is brief, as you resolve something quickly.

You honor me by inviting my truest self to be present in front of you and you give me permission and new skills to allow this self to safely manifest and thrive in the world. Thank you for all of your hard work, undying support and for always keeping it real. Thanks for knowing when to push me and when to pull me along. I've learned so much from you over the past years. I've learned to respect myself, to value my accomplishments, and to accept my past.

This is primarily because, as we grow up, we receive messages about what is acceptable and we cut off from parts of ourselves that are not. We are born with natural capabilities, so we perceive less need to develop others sides of ourselves. And painful and traumatic experiences can shut us off from parts too. Voice Dialogue is a type of "parts work" that will give you a way to explore your inner terrain and experience the richness of who you are.
