This is My Story

We are all life voyagers.  The voyage of is full of difficult relationships and transitions which are often accompanied by the unsettled companions of anxiety, anger, fear, depression, as well as other difficulties.  Life voyagers seek proven and trustworthy means to take them where they hope to be.  I join with my clients at the first meeting and we endeavor together to set sail toward a destination of greater understanding and less confusion.

Committed to my own journey toward wholeness, I seek an honest understanding and shared appreciation for the mystery, joys and suffering of life.  I also join the journey with education, experience, and specialized training as I seek to guide my clients on a path toward wholeness that is uniquely theirs. It is my hope to bring a refreshing place of calm to my clients, so they can begin the journey of compassion and greater understanding of self and others, learning skills to make changes and live more as they hope.

I enjoy being in the outdoors and find water brings me life – whether watching the sun set over a lake, or swimming in the water, being enveloped by water can bring to me a refreshing renewal for the day’s journey.

May therapy open a world of refreshment, understanding and new beginnings for you. I welcome the opportunity to assist you.
