Overview
Across my specializations is a common thread: to change your relationship to suffering.
In all of life, suffering is a given:
for every human being, from our birth to our deathbed, and during our lives in-between.
From our early struggles as humans during birth, walking, and falling,
and then to the striving for independence as a toddler and teenager, we are challenged.
We move from childhood through adulthood within our environments and our relationships with the desire to have control of our lives, to have what we want and need. But life doesn't always comply,
Even simply living in our bodies and trying to stay healthy, we are challenged. And we feel it emotionally.
But it is how we relate to this suffering that can change us.
By wanting our experience to change when for some reason it cannot, we suffer.
Whether a family member's death, difficulties learning, medical problems, feeling overwhelmed by caretaking children and parents, it's when we change our relationship to the struggles that everything changes because we can be mindful of it, and then see it differently. The paradox is that by learning how to relate to the suffering itself versus the situation, we can actually manage the suffering and reduce it.

Whether you're someone who is:
- Grieving the loss of your cherished pet
- A woman feeling overwhelmed or depressed or
- A musician with struggles
the desire to change the situation and relieve the suffering is the common thread.
I can teach you how to change this relationship so you don't identify with the suffering,
but with a larger presence within you than that change not only the suffering, but your life.
By working with me, you have a safe space to acknowledge, express and reveal the challenges, then
learn the tools to build a new relationship within yourself, with others, and with your environment.
And then you can watch the changes that occur.
I am happy to be that witness for you and to help.
