Inquiry Work

In my private practice, I work with individuals and couples. My approach is warm, inviting, and client-centered. Each session, we begin with what's most present for you and then follow aliveness – as it unfolds, moment-to-moment, wherever it leads us. Over the years I've found that this organic process has its own intelligence and is completely trustworthy. Authenticity and

sincerity are the essential ingredients. You bring all of you – light and shadow, blessings and

challenges, interests and needs – as well as whatever hurts, feels stuck, or is ready to be released

or reclaimed. I bring all of me – presence and deep listening, non-judgment and curiosity, intuition, theory and tools – as well as everything I've learned so far about life, psyche, and spirit. Together, we follow your process – co-creating a way of working that is unique to you, in service to the fullest expression of your being.

The Work Is...

Relational

We're in this together. I am an active,

engaged participant – holding space

or leaning in, based on what's needed.

Intuitive

We use imagination, along with an

awareness of energy, to access our

other ways of knowing. Intuition

augments our analytical capacities.

Experiential

Experiential practices, coupled with

skillful integration, facilitate deeper

and more lasting shifts. I incorporate

mindfulness, guided imagery, energy

work and expressive arts to name a few, based on client interest and what we

find to be most helpful.

Somatic

We track, attend to and honor the

wisdom of the physical and subtle

energy bodies.

Nondual

We are oriented towards discovering

and following truth, with the deep

understanding that you are already

whole.

relationship to self and other with authenticity,

emotions. Transforming anger, fear, sadness, or shame into wise action.
