Personal Statement
Life can be very difficult and painful at times, and I have great respect for people’s suffering and their desire to make changes. I see people in a holistic manner. Whatever challenges life brings, people bring their history with them as they face those difficult times. I help people overcome blockages, deal with anger they do not understand, and overcome fear, guilt, and shame, and adapt to life transitions. I help people understand themselves and others to become more empowered and to make effective choices.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, perfectionism, feelings of inferiority, and difficulties with relationships. I have treated many people who have survived difficult childhoods and/or disruption, including adoption issues (adoptive parents and adult adoptees), and people with recent or long-past trauma and loss. I help people identify conflicts within themselves that limit choices and can lead to negative patterns.

I create a safe, respectful, and caring environment to help people achieve self-understanding and empowerment, and move toward balance. In looking at the whole person, I consider cultural-ethnic issues, family dynamics, and am respectful of different lifestyles.
