"I use an experiential approach in counseling, where we follow the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and sensations that are occurring in the present moment as the window to explore deeper held beliefs. Together, we explore what is at the core of these beliefs and find new ways of understanding and holding the experiences you have had, to bring forward an updated perspective that leads from your most authentic, empowered self. Most of my work draws from my training in The Hakomi Method of Mindful, Somatic Psychotherapy as well as psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, person-centered psychotherapy, depth psychology, and dreamwork."

"Hello and welcome! As a therapist I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit and in everyone’s ability to change and lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. As a therapist who works with many kinds of people with diverse backgrounds, I understand how past traumatic experiences can manifest and intrude on our lives, these intrusions often come in forms of distress and negative emotional experiences. Through therapy you can begin to make the connections of your current thoughts, feelings and actions to your past traumatic experiences and begin the process of healing that will allow you to create the future you desire!"

"My primary interest is in working with each client to develop a strong, trusting relationship, which I believe is the basis of good therapy. This journey starts now, as you get a sense of what I'm like and really kicks off when we connect on the phone or in person to discuss your unique concerns and work together to develop a plan.

"I believe we are all capable of great changes. Experiencing trauma/ painful events at any age may cause us to feel overwhelmed, unsure, self-critical, anxious, or hopeless. These feelings can then create difficulties in managing our behaviors, our thoughts, and our relationships. I know many of us have tried for years to figure things out on our own and that seeking counseling takes great courage. I respect and honor the strength that clients bring into my office. Together, we can work to move beyond learned responses and toward healing - where you can develop self-regulation skills, decrease anxiety, and build self-esteem."

"By visiting this website, you most likely are facing transitions in your life and are aware that you need help. By doing so, you have walked half the way for healing. If you are feeling depressed and stuck, living with anxiety, phobias, traumas, or trapped in addiction to substance or behavior, or living in a turbulent relationship, please, do not be discouraged. Step forward and call for help. Your current situation is not all that you have in your life and you have a lot in your toolbox that you haven't utilized yet. Here I am; ready to help."

"Experiencing discomfort, pain, fear, sadness, and anger is part of life, and so is the courage and tenderness to grow and change. Seeking autonomy and belonging in our relationship to our selves and others can often be met with challenges- (building) blocks that hold their own wisdom. I welcome folks from all walks of life and social locations into my practice. I specialize in transnationals: expats, mixed- citizenship status couples/families, "home" seekers, and those straddling many cultures."

"Over thousands of years, philosophers have developed tools to explore the good life--what makes life meaningful, joyful, and fulfilling. As a professional philosopher, I draw upon those tools to empower you think clearly, live purposefully, and choose confidently. In our sessions, I offer friendly and accessible conversation, compassionate listening, and a healthy dose of humor. Together, we investigate your deepest assumptions about what is true and important so we can challenge what is not working, develop what is, and find greater order, harmony, and power in your thoughts and actions. We awaken and cultivate your inner philosopher."

I work with anxiety, depression, and early childhood trauma. We will collaborate in session to help you reconnect with innate strengths, resources, and wisdom."

"I believe that through our journey of life we can become distanced from our innate sense of wholeness when we encounter challenges. I hope to help clients access the capacity for healing and growth by mindfully studying and loosening protections that may have developed to get survive and get by. This often involves a strong focus on present moment experience so that we may work with the actual felt sense of what is limiting and eventually begin experimenting with new ways of being. "
