I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I help people identify and eliminate beliefs and perspectives that prevent them from living with love, confidence, and enthusiasm. Anxiety is reduced by identifying causes and applying mindful, body-present skills. Depression is lifted through expression and removing draining blocks that prevent action. Relationships are improved by focusing on communication and eliminating blame, resentment, and individual defenses that block deep intimacy. The more we know about ourselves, the more we're able to let go of old patterns and make decisions that lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.

People who come to therapy want a safe place to openly discuss problems or recurring themes in their lives that they don’t feel they can talk about fully and freely with other people. But they don’t just want to talk. They want active help thinking through where things have gone wrong, where their blind-spots might be, and what they can do to get to a better place – a place that not only feels livable, but actively good. They want to have good relationships, self-respect and self-esteem, a sense of optimism and bravery, and a feeling that they can take on whatever the world throws at them.

A process that is compassionate and respectful to your needs and rhythm.
