We each possess a great wellspring of aliveness, which yearns to come forth and express itself, no matter what long-held beliefs act to constrict its expression. I see the process of therapy as both loosening the knots of old beliefs and finding ways to tap into this aliveness, in order to live a more authentic and satisfying life.
When working with clients, I use an approach that is relational and collaborative, helping clients make the best use of the strengths they bring to therapy. My work incorporates experiential, somatic, and mindfulness-based techniques.
I received a master’s degree in transpersonal counseling psychology from JFK University, and have received postgraduate training in existential contemplative psychotherapy and have completed the two-year comprehensive training in Hakomi, a mindfulness-based method of somatic psychotherapy. Additional influences include psychodynamic, Jungian, sandtray and expressive arts therapies. I have lived for extended periods of time in both Germany and Japan, and am familiar with cross-cultural and expatriate issues.
I enjoy working with individuals, families, couples and adolescents.
