Nothing is more exciting to me than building lives worth living with those who suffer. Over the years, my clients and I have replaced many life-threatening behaviors such as suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, and addiction with powerful coping skills that ease suffering and build hope. I have been amazed working alongside survivors of many of life's adversities, witnessing remarkable strength even when they believed they had none. So my ideal client is simply someone who wants to build a better life and is willing to make a call. Together, we can take the rest from there.

I focus on helping clients determine their level of substance dependency and cope with their compulsion in everyday life. My clients are given tools to navigate through issues of early recovery (family, job, legal, daily life stressors) and support through post rehab support for dealing with post-acute withdraw symptoms such as depression, anxiety, drug dreams, irritability, fatigue and sleep disturbances.

Tara Brach speaks of being a bird with two wings. Often my thoughts turn to this when describing how I work. As a mindfulness-based and contemplative psychodynamic psychologist, I seek to help others find ways to gently turn toward their suffering, cultivating the capacity to hold that which is unpleasant in one hand, and that which is pleasant in the other. As the saying goes, "Suffering is optional."

I consider myself an agent of change and healing. I help clients process negative events and feelings, past and present, towards a more positive outcome. When successful re-processing takes place, people's lives and relationships improve significantly. I use the word agent because I facilitate my clients' natural ability to deal with these incidents. Sometimes we just get stuck. Stuck with traumas, patterns, habits and defenses. I know that empathic understanding, bi-lateral stimulation (EMDR) and mindfulness practice can move people through the most difficult situations, bring focus and clarity to the present moment, and dissipate unwanted symptoms.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS AT THIS TIME. Chronic or situational depression and/or anxiety can cause significant negative changes to your quality of life. Your symptoms can negatively impact your relationships, your work productivity and your health. If you're not feeling 'like yourself,' noticing changes in your sleep/appetite, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, or just going through difficult changes in your life, having someone to talk to can help. Usually, talking things through, practicing small lifestyle changes, learning a few coping tips, and doing some problem solving together can make all the difference.
