The Art and Science of Saying 'No'

Therapeutic Approach:


I believe in an approach which validates individual experiences and emphasizes communication of emotions- in order to engage with our dormant desires and dreams.



My proudest accomplishments as therapist:

Being able to facilitate those magical smaller moments that happen with each couple  “one heart at a time” are my proudest moments as therapist! This is when a couple in session makes eye contact, a partner reaches for the other, two people meet on a soul level where their highest intentions and deepest dreams connect for one glorious moment.



What inspired me to become a therapist...


...is 
my love and endless fascination with people and humanity and an intense to desire to make a difference. My curiosity about the inner workings of people drives my non-judgmental approach. I continue growing and learning as therapist so that I can help my clients find greater happiness through insight and acceptance.



What I know now for sure

We as humans are on this earth to learn and to give to each other and being able to be a part of sharing this richness with others is what life is all about.
