My passion is to create a deep, soulful experience for each person with whom I work. There is nothing quite like Voice Dialogue to create that experience. Voice Dialogue transported me light-years ahead in my own personal development and in my work with my clients. I will be forever indebted to Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone for this simple way to understand and experience the complexity of our psyches, our bodies, and our souls, as well as to the many facilitators and clients who have opened me up to the richness of the inner world.

Voice Dialogue is a magnificent framework to experience theoretical concepts, such as neurobiology, attachment theory, and developmental psychology. By giving voice to and honoring our protective selves, we are able to separate from them in order to allow the development of new and more resilient selves.
