Individual Talk Therapy provides an excellent avenue for self-reflection, dealing with present crises and unforeseen developments, complicated circumstances and psychic pain; it can be useful for sorting through, developing coping-strategies, processing difficult emotions, and reframing dysfunctional thoughts and behavior patterns into realistic and effective responses. 

I believe the degree of trust and rapport we develop together is crucial for successful outcome.

Couples Therapy entails building upon a sense of the “us” to bring greater harmony in our togetherness.  What may serve one person in a relationship may or may not serve the other (or the relationship itself), even though we ourselves benefit. This is where problems and breakdown occurs most often and must be investigated in a safe context for both individuals to present their differing points of view earnestly.  Read more…

Meditation and mindfulness practice teach us how to refocus on present-centered awareness (see Demo) to cut through reactive emotional and habitual thought patterns which hinder skillful action and obstruct our ability to see situations clearly. Read more…

Psychological Tarot engages intuition to seek deeper spheres of psychological life and enrich self experience and awareness. It can be incorporated into therapy sessions as a supplemental technique like Dream Analysis or Jungian Sandplay therapy; tarot “readings” can be requested for a single session or in a series of three readings over perhaps two months. The results are uncanny.
