About me
If you’re 15 or 85 and struggling to make sense of the world - where you fit in- what is your purpose - how can you remain positive and true to yourself? How to deal with fear, anger, frustration , or even frozen feelings. I’d like to help you to help yourself! I’m your guide with the flashlight !
I’ve been in private practice for 31 years. I worked in San Francisco Bay Area hospitals ( Alta Bates-Summit at Sutter Health and Children’s Hospital Oakland) for 30 years , teaching and doing therapy re: codependency and addiction. I now focus on deeper issues of how to create and manifest in your life as well as how to avoid negativity in these very stressful and challenging times. I’ll help you look at your part as well as outlier things affecting you. My approach is holistic : mind, body, spirit. What are you eating ? Nutrition! Exercise! Your thoughts , belief systems. and the people around you! Energy ! Pitfalls! What is your focus? What do you need? What is and isn’t working ? What is your level of stress - internal and external? How are your thoughts and feelings contributing to creating your outer world?
