Clients I Work With

I work with adults who want to heal their psychological wounds as well as find their purposeful self-expressions and life callings.

Approach

I integrate traditional psychotherapy with The Genius Way, my proprietary methodology for discovering unique gifts and life purpose. Using Psychodynamic/Integrative approaches, EMDR, Mindfulness, and Imaginal/Dreamwork, I help clients move beyond symptom management to authentic self-expression and profound meaning. My Purpose Development Therapy addresses the deeper existential questions beneath anxiety and depression. Specialties include midlife awakening, creative blocks, the journey from success to significance, grief/loss, panic disorders, and spiritual emergence. I guide individuals seeking transformation, not just healing.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

Growth after Trauma With 30+ years in spiritual counseling and practicing Depth Psychology since 2009, I blend traditional psychotherapy with The Genius Way methodology. Author of "Summoning Genius," I guide clients through anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and midlife transitions while helping them discover their unique gifts, life purpose, and authentic self-expression.

More About My Practice

Taking the step toward transformation requires courage. Whether seeking symptom relief or discovering your life purpose, I honor your journey. Perhaps you're successful but unfulfilled, sensing something greater wants to emerge. I create a safe space where healing and self-discovery unfold.
