"For over 24 years, I've collaborated with people to resolve their psychological trauma, phobias, anxiety & stress as well as maximize responses to their medical diagnoses, treatments & conditions. This clinical focus stems from both a personal medical challenge since age 12 and research on treating women with breast cancer and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet Kaiser research (1998) finding 70% of primary care visits are driven by mental, emotional and relational issues highlights how mind and body are interwoven for each of us. This interplay provides leverage for preventive medicine, for responding to illness and for maximizing peak performance."

"Finding the RIGHT therapist makes all the difference in your experience and is critical to making the positive changes you desire. This is a personal decision that should meet your specific needs. It is important to pick a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and whose style fits you. My therapy style is warm, empathetic and inviting but can also be challenging. The work I do with patients is deep rooted - which means at times you may feel uncomfortable. However, my patients grow and challenge themselves in ways that continually surprise them."

"Good therapy involves the right match. I also provide a free 30 minute (in person) question and answer session (not counseling). This allows you to understand what your therapy process will look like. If we decide to work together, you will be involved in a very action oriented therapy. Our work will encourage you to practice your new skills during the week. I try to use approaches that you find helpful like: writing in a journal, reading books, support groups, and/or your spiritual practices, that may help while you are in therapy.

"It's exciting to see that you're exploring ways to improve your current dilemma--and your life. Whether your problem is one that is longstanding and has resisted change, or is new and unfamiliar, therapy will provide a safe and caring environment to work it through. I'll help you identify the blocks to your optimal functioning, understand them, and then develop better-fitting, more fruitful ways to think and act. It's a respectful, warm-hearted process, always focused on your uniqueness and wholeness."

"It's difficult to start therapy! Many people carry a therapist's business card in their pocket for weeks before picking up the phone or shooting an email to begin. But if you're in a lot of emotional pain, it can feel like life is running you rather than you running it. Once you reach out for support, the process starts. Together, we'll explore any distorted thinking patterns that may be at play and develop your strengths so that you can regain a sense of agency and equanimity. We will seek to unearth your core values and make changes in alignment with those. Please inquire whether I have any current openings for new clients."

"In our day to day lives, it can be difficult to notice when changes occur until we aren't able to do the things we used to be able to do with relative ease. Similarly, we don't always notice a shift in our mood and how that shift may be affecting our overall well-being. The cause for these changes can be various stressors in our lives. With psychotherapy, we can begin to understand how these factors are impacting you and can we can help you better manage."

"In today's tech-driven environment, the pressure to succeed can be overwhelming. Striving to achieve measures of success that do not include what is personally meaningful may heighten stress and anxiety.
