I believe that trust, honesty, and compassion are the key to a successful therapeutic relationship.

"Ideally, therapy is a partnership between a client and myself where we work together to alleviate troublesome symptoms and to develop your unique potential and life.

I work well with a wide variety of issues and people.

"We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness."

I specialize in including mindful attention to the body with talk therapy to help clients unlock the painful legacy of trauma."

"Life brings so many changes and challenges; a skilled psychotherapist can help make sense of what is going on in your life. I help people resolve that experience of being "stuck", or feeling lost and meaningless for no apparent reason. These often come from childhood emotional neglect, grief (fresh or unresolved), aging, trauma, life changes (health, parenting, career, etc.), marital conflict, losses and more. I believe the answers needed are within the individual, and together we can find those answers and solutions to enable you to enter into a fuller life experience, more self-aware and whole."

"We are all evolving! People usually come to see me because a crisis has happened. The origin of the word crisis means turning point. If your experiencing a turning point in your life I can help you navigate. Sometimes when a crisis hits we find it hard to process what is happening because we are full of the emotional and mental confusion. Therapy helps to unravel the confusion so you can awaken to the awareness that comes with the turning point. Growing in awareness can create a whole new perspective."
