What I do
Most recently, I have brought together my
professional experience, my passion for helping
others fully manifest their unique gifts and
strengths, and my love of sports and performing
arts to form "Focus and Flow", my integrative
approach to facilitating optimal performance
and empowered living. Developing my programs
and services has been a true labor of love. It
represents an integration of my professional
expertise, my life experiences, and my passion
for participating in the transformation of
individuals, relationships, and communities. The
Focus and Flow approach is about empowered
living, positive energy, wellness, and fulfilling
our optimal potential. My services include
psychotherapy, consultation, mental training,
life coaching, retreats, online classes, and more.
I emphasize the use of music, meditation, and
writing as tools for healing and transformation.
I have been blessed with the gift of being able
to connect with the light that shines within
others. I work with each person so that inner
light illuminates, liberates, and gives full
expression to one's strengths, gifts, and
ultimate purpose. I have a deep passion for and
commitment to social justice, particularly with
respect to the elimination of all forms of social
oppression. I have a strong faith in the amazing
potential of people, groups, and communities to
rise to their highest potential given the right
conditions and inspiration.
