Introduction: I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy services in the Minneapolis and St Paul communities for over 30 years. I work to provide a safe environment where we can explore areas of your life that are difficult or may keep you from where you may want to be.  I will help you be more aware of  your strengths and assist you in gaining a better understanding of your difficulties. Ultimately, we can discover together what works best for you in creating a more satisfying life. I enjoy helping people to be freer and happier in their lives, and appreciate the connectedness that develops working with people in therapy. It is gratifying to provide an environment that people can use to become more truly themselves in life, to participate with them as they do it, and to see the wonderful effects in their lives that result from our work. I also like the intellectual challenge of understanding what has been holding people back, and of figuring out what is necessary to free them to make progress. In my years as a therapist, I have developed a profound sense of respect for people. I am often amazed by what people have been through, and am impressed by the efforts that we all make to cope with, and overcome, our difficulties. I believe that change and healing come through our relationships; our relationship with self as well as our relationships with others. It is because of this belief that I approach my work as a collaborative venture that requires large amounts of both compassion and curiosity. It is my goal to create an atmosphere where these qualities can be nurtured and to provide the individual with the support and space to reflect on old patterns of behavior and the opportunity to respond in new ways that allow for a more fully realized and authentic way of living.
