"If you don't know where you're going, you may never get there." My work supports clients in getting clear with where they want to be going in life, and in learning and applying skills to take meaningful steps aligned with guiding values. I offer clients practical tools and techniques to create more flow and vitality in life. Come away from therapy with more flexibility, humor and confidence to meet life's challenges and see them as opportunities.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informed by attachment science, Positive Psychology, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Ecopsychology and Buddhist psychology as my main approach to fostering change. For couples, I use PACT to promote care and connection between partners.
Working with me you can expect a warm atmosphere of trust and acceptance, an active and engaged approach in examining what is/what is not working for you, and a process that helps you get underneath the forces that keep you from accomplishing the valued goals you seek.
