Whole Heart Awareness Coaching & Psychotherapy

"It's an absolute pleasure to serve my clients and see them grow into--- and on their way to their increased self-love and magnificence. I love the work. Seeing clients grow inspires me greatly."

My approach with you as a client is based on a collaborative relationship, being with presence, mindfulness, empathy and strength-based, Positive Psychology.

Perhaps it is because of my experience which includes training in mindfulness or meditation since 1983 and the language of nonviolence or nonharming from 1997 along with the training in Transpersonal Psychology in Holistic Studies at John F Kennedy University. While there are many amazing therapists out there, a surprising number of clients have reported to me that I am the best therapist they have seen out of anywhere from 6 to 20 practitioners.

We work together on what's vital to your life and your happiness. Clients appear to be able to optimally explore what's present and grow in areas of relationship, finances, and spirituality and love.

I enjoy working with people from all ages (so far this is 6-76) and from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and sexual orientations including transgender identified people.

The psychotherapy offices are in Berkeley and Marin County or by telephone or skype.

In addition, for more than a year, I've work with clients in recovery and Lifers and Prop 36 clients free from incarceration at a clinic in the East Bay. It was a tremendous experience. From 2013 to 2014 I counseled with students from K-8. I am really excited about the work I am doing and enjoy seeing what happens with clients. I've totally been amazed even in the last week of this writing.

Areas in which I've seen clients' successes in therapy include:

Relationships
Anxiety
Stress
Depression
PTSD
Couples Therapy
Working with fears and
Inner sense of security
Cultural issues
Boundary and Work related issues
Increasing happiness
Social Freedom
Ability to express oneself
Self-esteem
Sexuality
Spirituality and
Growing in Being Present to oneself.

I work with heterosexual clients and couples as well as the entire gender and sexuality continuum.
