As lifelong seeker of meaning, I appreciate mindfulness, emotional intelligence and the transpersonal, but also the more traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches to healing.

"Struggling with depression or anxiety? Breaking patterns is hard, but you know you want change and meaningful redirection. Past traumas, unfulfilling relationships, or work stress get in the way of being present-- of feeling fulfilled?

"Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change. "
