I have a warm, relational style. Although together we will explore influences from the past, we will address your concerns and find solutions to real life problems that you are experiencing now. Research indicates that healing in therapy is connected to the relationship with client/ therapist. I create a safe and warm environment so you will be able to freely explore your thoughts and feelings. An exploration of what aspects of self and life that can be changed and ones that we can develop acceptance with if we cannot change them. I love my work and enjoy supporting others. My practice is rooted in diversity and inclusion
I have over 28 years of experience in mental health. I work with teens, adults, couples and groups. I have over thirty five years of experience as a student of meditation and mindfulness. My practice addresses: depression, anxiety, life transitions, and most aspects of mental health including substance abuse.
Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary 15-20 minute phone or video consultation. I look forward to meeting you. People have shared that these brief meetings are very helpful. My style is warm and attentive. Fees: Typically my fee is determined after a consult.
