 I am a Focusing Oriented Psychotherapist and Certified Focusing Trainer providing individual, couple and family therapy. My experience with Focusing dates back to the early 80’s. I continue to study Focusing with Ann Wiser Cornell and others. It is a process that is transformational personally and is the heart and soul of my therapeutic work with others.
My formal education has included art, philosophy, religion and psychology. I have a master’s degree in Existential Phenomenological Psychology from Seattle University. I have pursued advanced training in Family Systems Therapy, Adlerian Psychology and Inner Relationship Focusing. I bring a gentleness, warmth and sense of humor to my teaching and therapy. The beauty of nature and the love of my family endlessly encourage me.
I believe that all people deep down know what is right for them and will move them forward. At our core is an inner sense of knowing which if listened to will open up and guide us toward healing. Inner Relationship Focusing facilitates this process in ways that continually amaze me. That is why I am excited to be teaching workshops, providing individual Focusing sessions and promoting a body centered, Focusing Oriented and experiential way of working with others.
My vision is to bring Focusing into the mainstream of the healing professions. I am interested in speaking to groups about Focusing and it’s many applications. Presentations are experiential, fun and give participants a taste of the Focusing process. Workshops teach Focusing for both personal and professional use. Advanced training and coaching help people integrate Focusing into their profession or area of interest.
