Personal Statement

I work with adults (including geriatric) to relieve suffering and enhance their ability to feel high-level well-being. Sometimes relatively quick change is possible through learning tools and skills. These opportunities for learning I address through a variety of techniques that people learn to use on their own.

Sometimes the work requires more exploration and time. This happens when a part of us wants to make a change, but another part of us is not yet on board, and for good reasons. Beliefs outside our awareness may drive our behavior and feelings, beliefs may be in conflict with our values, and sometimes we have apparently conflicting goals.

Whatever the issues or needs, my approach depends on how the client and I can most effectively partner to achieve their goals. Hopefully the transformational process can include laughter, play, and fun.
