I provide psychotherapy and counseling services to adults, adolescents, and couples. In the framework of authentic therapeutic dialogue and connection, I honor the strengths and uniqueness of each person in the context of their life experience and help them in creating the change they seek. My approach is client centered and flexible to best meet the needs of each person and their particular situation, while staying grounded in my Gestalt theoretical orientation. When helpful, I integrate mindfulness, as well as humanistic and attachment perspectives into larger Gestalt Theory.
I find that working on multiple levels can be most effective – identifying, learning, and employing skills and strategies for coping, relief, and stabilization of pressing concerns, while also engaging in deeper, longer-term work around core issues. My experience and ability ranges from treating severe mental illness to helping navigate life life issues.
I welcome individuals of all ages (15+), ability, development, ethnicity, gender, race, religion and spirituality, and sexuality. I also provide supervision and consultation services to therapists. My practice is open to new clients and I am interested in how I can be of help to you.
