About
As a psychotherapist in full-time practice for over 30 years, I take an integrated approach to therapy, blending traditional psychotherapies with mindfulness. I encourage clients to find their ways to their best and strongest selves with a non-pathological approach. Symptoms are a sign that it's time to focus inward to understand what needs to change. Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to explore these inter-complexities.
Although the past does influence the present, it does not have to control it. Sometimes it is important to process our past to understand how it can influence present day relationships and quality of life. Other times we can enter into present day concerns and discover how we get in our own way of achieving what we want or need.
These are difficult times, and outside support can be more helpful than ever. We don't get out of life without struggling over something. And we know that people who talk about it with someone, other than family and friends, have a unique experience of relief and moving forward.
