The fact that you are here and searching for a therapist is a sign of health. My promise is to make a safe place for you and really listen, support, and guide you. I am interested in your uniqueness, your hidden resources, strategies proven to work, mindfulness-based stress reduction, developing trust in one's internal guidance system, and practices that deepen a sense of connection and purpose. Our relationships are like a mirror where we can learn and grow and heal all wounds. When we have difficulties, we have rich opportunities.
People come to see me for many reasons including: stress, anxiety, depression, medical problems, significant transitions, relationship issues, communication challenges, trauma, PTSD, intimacy and love-making concerns, pornography, sexual issues, and OCD. Rasa, our therapy dog, and her assistant Kit-Kat (The Cat) assist with sessions.
I'm former faculty of the UMASS Stress Reduction Clinic featured on Bill Moyers Healing the Mind, THE Epi-Center of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction & faculty of UCONN Medical for this work. I'm a Solution-Oriented Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with over 30 years of experience. I look forward to helping you. I'm ready and here for you.
