(Watch a brief introductory video on my website!) I'll work with you to overcome limiting patterns and discover new, more fulfilling ways to be in the world. Along the way you may discover deeply held beliefs and emotional responses that shape your experience, and choose to let go of what no longer serves you, while giving greater expression to your authentic self. I offer a warm and welcoming therapeutic environment where you can safely explore your concerns. I specialize in helping individuals and couples find relief from anxiety and other distressing emotions, heal trauma, improve self-esteem, improve communication, and experience greater relationship satisfaction.
My style as a therapist combines a calm and gentle presence with an active approach to facilitating change. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I include a focus on developing mindful awareness of feelings, sensations and other experiences that arise in the here and now of the therapy session, to deepen the therapeutic process.
I honor you as a thinking, feeling, embodied, social and spiritual being, and work with your concerns along these different dimensions, as appropriate. Please check out my website to learn more!
