Finding the right match in a therapist is essential to beginning this uniquely personal process. Therapy often gets a bad name when there is a sense of disconnect between client and therapist, which can make therapy feel like another struggle. Life is challenging enough. I am committed to creating a comfortable and genuine dialogue with each client, or to offering more fitting outside referrals. I am able to put people at ease, welcoming humor where appropriate.
I have a broad view on all that is possible within the human experience, and I don't shy away from the shadow side of that experience, but instead include it and explore it with compassion and understanding. I am regularly inspired seeing how this nonjudgmental approach helps people heal.
I have studied mindfulness and meditation for the past 13 years and find that even those who “don’t like meditation” can be surprised by how a few mindfulness skills/ tricks can significantly help them to reduce their suffering in areas of challenge. I welcome Spanish-speaking clients, as well as clients of all cultures and identities.
