In my work

I am most interested in providing psychotherapy for people during times of transition or loss. I see great opportunities in mid-life that are often preceded by loss of enthusiasm, burn-out or great anxiety such as fears of illness, aging and death. those interested in their spiritual life can be helped to see these periods of confusion and pain as precursors to personal growth and an opportunity to deepen their interior life.

I also:

• help church denomination leaders with human resource concerns by providing psychological evaluations for candidates entering ministry, and for fitness-for-ministry processes
• offer vocational and personality assessment as well counseling for ministers discerning a new call or seeking personal growth.

The space where I work is made beautiful by the art work of the Painted Desert Gallery. My therapist colleague, Carol Emerson, is also an artist and along with her partners AJ Nutter and Rose Principe she has transformed our therapy space into an art gallery opened to the public on First Friday weekends.
