PSYCHOTHERAPY

People come to see me for many reasons:

• to improve relationships with self, and others
• to transcend depression, anxiety, and addiction
• to heal past wounds, recognize and move beyond creative blocks
• to experience personal and spiritual growth
• to explore team dynamics and improve leadership skills
• to address mental blocks related to achieving a specific goal

If you have a question about an issue not listed, feel free to call or send an e-mail and I will let you know if I can help.

In our sessions I create a space for you to become conscious of the stories you are living by where you can better understand how you came to have the life you have, and be the person that you are. Through various mediums of creative, and interpersonal expression you begin to ask the question; whose story am I living by, and is this the story I want to be living? Contacting the present moment more fully as a conscious human being, you begin to choose consciously, and live whole heartedly your authentic story. Creativity becomes the healing act as you become the author of your life, living in accordance with your values, rather than a character in someone else's story.
