As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide psychotherapy to adults and couples facing a wide range of issues. My approach to individual therapy integrates mindfulness- and acceptance-based techniques to guide people toward a healthier relationship with emotional distress and problematic behavior. Cultivation of psychological insight and awareness is used as a springboard for growth, empowerment, and the pursuit of balance and value-driven action.
I also work with couples whose partnership has been disrupted in some way. This may be due to persistent conflict, poor communication, lack of intimacy, or violation of trust (infidelity). Therapy seeks to mend these and other forms of rupture by building effective communication skills and enhancing closeness and connection.
