Welcome to my practice. If we worked together, you could bring me your doubts, pains and fears. We could look into your problem behaviors and beliefs to see more clearly what drives them and what other choices you might have. We would get to know your strengths and use them. We would investigate how painful past experiences including trauma might still be affecting your reactions and choices, and try to reduce their impact. As a therapist, I am an active listener, often asking clarifying questions and inviting reflection. This exchange builds mindfulness, which I believe is essential to health.
I am an expert in working with people whose moods, impulsive actions and emotions get in their way. I have helped many individuals who struggle to stay alive, who use substances in problematic ways, or whose eating gets out of control. I have helped many people reduce or eliminate self-harm behaviors. I specialize in helping people improve relationships.
You are like all other people, like some other people and like no one else. Let's get to know your unique profile and help you build a more satisfying life.
