My approach to therapy is embodied in the quote by Sunryu Suzuki: Each of us is perfect the way we are...and we can use a little improvement.  This means that I will help you work through any shame that you feel about your perceived problems so that you can integrate the self-awareness that we will together uncover. I am highly attuned to emotional experience and will help you to understand how unmet emotional needs contribute to destructive thoughts and/or behaviors and how self-acceptance lights the way to deeper connections with others.

I can help you with anxiety, impulsive and compulsive behaviors and narcissism. These behaviors often stem from early life trauma and/or neglect and we will work on healing these wounds while using mindfulness and other behavioral regulation techniques to address destructive behaviors. We will fully collaborate on the treatment plan and the pace of therapy.

I use a variety of techniques and orientations, depending on the individual psychology and goals of the client. In all of my work, I help clients understand the relationship between early life experience, beliefs, emotions and behaviors. When applicable, I help clients soothe the physiological arousal of their emotions. In couple's work, I use EFT to address the attachment wounds between partners.
