Individual Counseling

Emotive-relational issues

Psycho-educational issues

My work with you involves bringing compassionate attention to your emotional world—to buried feelings that have been shamed and stuffed and otherwise redirected to the detriment of your psyche and energy. By safely experiencing your core feelings, you will naturally move toward your vital way of being less defended and better able to move elegantly through the negotiation of your daily life.

“Therapy should not be theory-driven, but relationship-driven”

Irvin Yalom,
The Gift of Therapy



My relational approach emphasizes the necessity of healing with others—our spouses, our families, our spiritual organizations, and through our friendships. Because many of us feel terribly alone, we often don’t know how to make these necessary and soothing connections with others. By healing this deep emotional pain of disconnection, you will learn how to carry these tools out into your world to facilitate a much wider scope of healing in your world. The emotional pain that is between you and the life you want to live will be the direct encounter point of our work together.

Innen is a Japanese word that speaks to the interplay of internal and external causes or relations (in – meaning direct causes, and – en meaning indirect conditions). The external circumstances of our lives and the present conditions in which we live join us in our quest for healing and wholeness.
