How I work with clients...
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there."
-Rumi
It seems the path of healing, peace, and greater consciousness is different for all of us, and there's something quite beautiful about the endless possibilities that exist. I am so grateful for the clients that feel called to work with me as they travel their own unique path, and I hold each relationship as sacred. I attempt to bring my humanity and open heart to each session, and I respect the innate wisdom in each of us to decrease our own suffering and experience equanimity and serenity.
Depending on each client's needs and desires, I use a variety of approaches-- including somatic, expressive arts, attachment based, feminist/person-centered, existential, and emotionally focused modalities, as well as the Enneagram.
A few random facts about me:
I am a Single Mother by Choice, a vegetarian, love to dance and practice yoga, am passionate about social justice and equality, and I am a musician/music teacher.
I hate to cook and I look terrible in the color orange. My sense of time and direction are non-existent despite 44 years of practice, and I am a natural night owl.
