If you, or a family member, are struggling with anxiety, excessive worry, depression, or emotional distress, a mindfulness-based mental health program can help. My therapeutic model is evidence-based, grounded in current research on what works to alleviate distress and increase coping. It is also holistic, encompassing the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and life spirit. And it is experiential and mindfulness-based. I offer time-limited group programs for teens and adults, both online and in-person, based on mindfulness psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and self-compassion training.

New participants sometimes express initial apprehension about joining a group program, but ultimately find solace in realizing they are not alone in their struggles. They also find encouragement as they learn valuable skills aimed at acquiring relief from debilitating distress and improving well-being and engagement in life.

As a clinical psychologist, therapist, teacher, and consultant, for almost three decades, I bring extensive experience, knowledge, and expertise to my work. Most importantly I strive to create a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment for therapeutic healing to take place. I am LGBTQ+ allied and strive to be a culturally sensitive and aware clinician.
