Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
If you’ve been disappointed by conventional talk therapy, and are looking for transformational change — not just support and tips for coping with your problems— I can help. My approach helps people heal problems at the root cause level, rapidly, gently and normally, with long-lasting results. The approach doesn’t rely on telling your story over and over, exposing yourself to past pain, or trying to over-ride unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior with repetition and brute force. I can teach you several ways to make shifts in how you think, feel and behave by harnessing powers you already have.
