About My Clients

My ideal client is someone who is willing to be open and honest with themselves and with me, and they are committed to doing the work necessary to achieve their goals. They are also someone who is respectful and kind, and who is willing to see me as a partner in their journey. I hope to be a comforting, positive presence in their lives and encourage them to be gentle with themselves.

My Background and Approach

While I use a multitude of approaches, my favorite type of therapy is Emergence, developed by Steven Paglierani. I frequently study this form of therapy with a community. I believe Emergence is a method by which you understand your nature and access freedom to make choices that feel true to you. As Steven wrote on his website, "[Emergence is] everything from teaching and talk therapy to a new scientific method. Mostly though, it all comes back to the same two events; startles and epiphanies. Or submergences and emergences, to use our words. The thing is, emergences are much more than just moments in which you heal a wound. Emergences are also moments in which you learn something new. Permanently, learn. For life. They're also the moments in which scientists make discoveries. And they're also the moments in which meditators become more conscious, enemies forgive, and people fall in love." My goal is to help bring light into your life and fall in love with living.
