Encountering issues, no matter the severity, is a normal and natural part of our lives.

Sessions with me are experiential in nature, with a focus on developing present moment awareness of one’s inner and outer world. Every person possesses an expert knowledge of themselves. Through the cultivation of mindfulness and other skills, I aim to help individuals harness that self knowledge to identify where they are stuck and to find ways to engage in values-based living.

I see couples in therapy who tell me they are quarrelling too much or who have drifted apart. Often, they need help with expressing their feelings. Many have difficulty respectfully resolving conflict. Some have physical and sexual intimacy concerns.

An affair doesn't have to mean the end of a relationship. I also see individuals for relationships or the impact of childhood trauma on their lives. Young adults and their parents see me for family therapy to improve their relationships.

I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
