My work is grounded in the underlying conviction that there is a spiritual presence--that most faith traditions call God--that guides the therapeutic and healing process.
I am trained as a pastoral psychotherapist and also am a licensed psychoanalyst. I work relationally, face to face, as a present, listening person who offers a safe and caring container for you to share your feelings, fears, hopes, sadnesses.
We will work with your dreams, images, imagination, as well as your daily thoughts and feelings. Support and insight helps us to discern and relieve obstacles that are in the way of aliveness in life.
I work with a range of individuals and/or couples, and each is unique.
Issues I focus upon include:
- personal growth, spirituality, creativity
- recovery from neglect, abuse or trauma
- loss of meaning in life; those seeking a higher, guiding presence
