My guiding philosophy, based in doctoral level research, asserts that individuals thrive when they fully participate in their resilience and personal empowerment process. Healthy growth, learning, and lasting change are best achieved in the context of honest, open and joyfully insightful relationships. There is power within our minds and bodies to heal, evolve and strengthen when given the proper tools and support. Client centered with a mind, body, emotional intelligence and well being empowerment perspective, I respectfully collaborate with and highly honor each client as a unique individual in a safe and professional space.

I believe in the self-healing capacity of the body, mind and spirit. If you have struggled with an eating disorder, addictions, depression or obesity or if you have chronic pain issues, you may benefit from the unique integrative medicine approach of my practice. I use the best of conventional medicine and complementary and alternative therapies, to help you on your journey to healing. I have over twenty five years of experience in practicing medicine with a focus on helping my patients change behaviors that interfere with their ability to live life to the fullest.

Welcome! Are you feeling anxious? Overwhelmed? Stressed? Do you want to heal your traumas? Improve your self confidence? Are you ready to move forward in life? If you are interested in working together, please email me to set up a free 15 minute call. I specialize in Energy Psychology, a relatively new approach to therapy that focuses on calming the nervous system to turn off the fight-or-flight stress response. I incorporate a variety of mind-body tapping techniques with mindfulness based therapies to help improve your overall wellbeing.

Is there a relationship in your life that's in crisis? In a rut? Draining your energy? Are you struggling to bear the pain of losing someone or something dear to you? I enjoy working with adult families, couples, and individuals (over 15 years old) to strengthen family, marriage and friendship ties. I'm also committed to working with clients after the death of a loved one. Please contact me so that we can get you and your loved ones back on track. I offer 75% off the first session, by request.

I help my clients find their way to more authentic and fulfilling lives. Whether it's through improving personal relationships, increasing individual self-awareness, or building upon pre-exisiting resiliency, I assist my clients in finding positive and pragmatic solutions to the relational and sexual difficulties in their lives. I tend to approach my interventions in a collaborative and humanistic way. Empathic support, unconditional acceptance and gentle challenging guide my therapeutic process. I offer support to individuals and couples and aim to enhance each client's insight, resiliency and hope.

I believe that wellness begins with identifying and moving toward meaningful goals within the supportive context of a trusting therapeutic relationship. An area of passionate focus for me is my work with children and adults who have experienced a variety of traumas and losses. My clinical experience includes private practice, individual therapy with children and adolescents in public and private school settings, residential treatment with high-risk youth in the custody of the state, and community mental health center services with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I welcome clients' diverse perspectives and unique life contexts.

I utilize humor, metaphors, and experiential activities to help you develop the ability to engage in the present moment so you can decide whether a behavior is consistent with your values. Through acceptance and mindfulness practices, I identify "how" you think about experiences to help create flexibility in moving toward personal growth and development.

Your life may look perfect to an outsider. You have it all together, but really you're drowning and losing yourself more and more every day. Sometimes you see glimpses, but can't grasp on to how to become whole again. You might use substances yourself, or have been in relationships where addiction is prevalent. No matter the details or circumstances, you feel trapped and voiceless.

People seek therapy to change something in their life. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, phobia, or other challenges. Ultimately, I suspect that you want to change something in your life: feelings, behaviors, patterns or relationships. I have passion for helping people make the change they desire. Whether you are a young adult struggling to find meaning, someone questioning your relationship or sexuality, or dealing with a challenging health or career concern, I would welcome the opportunity to help you find a way forward.

*Unable to accept new clients at this time* It is all too often that we miss out on life as it unfolds; in the present moment. Our thoughts, feelings, and memories often leave us distracted, reactive, and approaching life as though it were a series of problems to be solved. I practice utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a mindfulness-based intervention designed to help you identify what you truly value, and how we can get you back in touch in your daily life. Mindfulness is clinically demonstrated to have countless positive outcomes for mental health.

I have a long-standing interest in how our past echoes forward into our present. It is evident how critical early development is in terms of our moods, relationships, and distinctive personalities. I have developed tools for working with people to untangle the past from present so that there is more room for transformation in the future.
