"Can you use your mind to reduce your suffering, rather than increase it? Or to increase meaning and depth in your life? You can, but most people need a little help with this. Sometimes a sympathetic family member or wise friend can help a great deal; other times when a knowledgeable, compassionate professional is a better choice. Perhaps your internal life feels out of control, or you're feeling stuck, repeating ineffective patterns of relating to yourself and others. I work with people to help them understand themselves and their situation, manage stress better, and make positive changes happen."

"It is incredibly human to experience adversity. How we respond to adversity is where our power lies and determines whether we will land well on our feet or remain stuck in unhelpful, undesirable patterns. Responding well begins with recognizing our choice points and choosing wisely. Learn how an untrained human brain can hijack your experiences and keep you stuck in habitual patterns of thinking and doing that you would most like to change or escape. Learn instead tools and strategies to help you respond from the wisest, kindest and most skilled version of yourself. Unleash the full potential of your own healing and growth!"
