Statement of Beliefs:
We in our world are opening doors and becoming a more global community. Although news headlines today cry of recession, scarcity, war, etc., increasingly, multitudes of people are traveling to all corners of the world and innumerable grass roots organizations are engaging with other's cultures globally. At home, we are building communities of co-operation - community gardens, ride share cars, barter systems, etc. We are reconsidering our use of limited resources in more earth friendly living. The result is good news in the form of relationships, stories and wisdom shared from culture to culture, people to people and more sustainable communities. This is bringing to us a new kind of wealth enriching all of us in a myriad of ways, which will be reflected by new vitality in our spirits, our relationships and our environment.
My life's passion has been exploring connections, internally, in relationships and communities, and bringing various people and cultural groups together. I believe that we are all connected and that integration and healing on all levels, is a critical issue for all of us in this pivotal time of history. There are so many creative ways to do this. Rather than thinking that we can't do anything to change the world, I agree with current thinkers, who believe that grass roots efforts by thoughtful, ordinary people may be the most effective way to do so.
Heart Centered Therapy:
HCT is a spiritual and therapeutic process which assumes only love. It is client centered, seeking to open the blocks to personal integration using feelings, imagery and being grounded in the body. At each point of integration, the opportunity to re-story an old, painful story, shifts the energy and ability of the individual to be more effectively present in real time.

In workshops or with couples or privately, learn about when you are at your best, what makes life exciting, interesting invigorating, motivating and productive?
