As a dynamic therapist bringing over 25 years of experience, I can help you to appreciate who you are today, while helping you to make positive changes. No matter what your inner or outer circumstances, I can help you to be more at ease with them while you are at the same time doing what you can to improve yourself and your situation. We all face challenges in our lives, with our fears, emotions, moods, family, friends, jobs, addictions, aging, body and identity. We wish something to be different but are struggling with making or knowing what to change.
I can help you to reduce your suffering today,and feel more lovable while you are growing helping you to determine what needs to change and how to do it. I can help you to have a conversation with fearful future unknowns, or past ghosts reducing their power over you.
I specialize in mindfulness based approaches. I make frequent use of CBT in my practice and integrate many DBT concepts. I have done much work with addictions using a harm reduction model. I work with individuals, couples, families, and young adults.
