A life truly lived constantly burns away veils of illusion,
burns away what is no longer relevant,
gradually reveals our essence,
until, at last,
we are strong enough to stand in our naked truth.
Marion Woodman
If you long for a deeper understanding of and intimacy with yourself and others,
are willing to undertake the exploration into that which is keeping you stuck in repetitive patterns,
and have the courage to embrace the unknown . . .
​
I am here to support and bear witness to the deepening of your distinct and empowered self,
engaging in what is true and alive in each moment with creativity, compassion, and connection.
Especially if you are someone moved by the pursuit of living a life true to an ever-evolving path of authenticity
and wholeness, considering that which matters most in the here and now with appreciation
and wonder about the mystery and complexity of all the forces that came together to
make you, you.
What you might bring into therapy with me:
​
The desire to engage in conversations
about the nature of the journey,
to locate
doorways to meaning
and
questions that lead to
what
truly matter in life.

in the uniqueness of your own voice.

Shine light upon . .
the hidden gold beneath the surface of awareness
so that you might mine aspects of yourself
not yet explored and honored.
​
Support you . . .
as you venture into territory which feels tender
and vulnerable so that you might know and appreciate, embody and express yourself
more fully and authentically.
Only what is truly oneself has the power to heal.
