In my practice, I combine basic talk therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with Schema Therapy and Mindfulness to help you find solutions in the present moment.
Are you feeling stuck in life, unable to move forward and grow?

My approach focuses on helping clients regain control and develop healthy coping skills. I work with young adults, adults and couples, specializing in LGBTQ issues, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, trauma, and mood disorders.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and yoga.
Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. Grief often breaks a person completely from the inside out. Grieving is hard work; you can get worn out and feel battered. It can take a lot longer to work through grief than most people realize. People around you may think it’s helpful for you to not talk or cry or focus on your loss but actually, this is just what people need to do. The goal is to not stay stuck, to move through it—and this is part of the process. Find wholeness through trauma informed talk therapy, yoga, mindfulness.
