I provide psychotherapy that fosters critical dialogue and facilitates an exploration of your mental health in its many dimensions, including physical, socio-cultural, relational, sexual and spiritual. This involves developing the self-knowledge, personal resources and abilities that forge adaptive, new connections to your sense of self and to others. Making new connections is essential to your resilience and recovery: your capacities to create positive growth and change through self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-compassion. Enhancing how you are connected to self, others and community is central to my therapeutic approach.
I will help you move forward in your life. I will provide an individualized treatment plan based on your unique needs. My therapeutic expertise spans a broad range of mental health challenges, including recovery from childhood trauma and addictions. My treatment specialties include anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, grief/loss and LGBTQ issues.
Feeling stuck? Ready for change? I will work with you to mobilize the natural healing force that already resides in your mind-body system. I believe that the experience and meaning of your mental health cannot be defined simply by a diagnosis or a set of symptoms. I will help to advance your quest for connection, vitality, self-fulfillment and peace of mind.
