I enjoy working with clients who want more than traditional "talk" therapy. I understand you might feel like just talking about your life cannot change your experience of it. You may be asking how can therapy make a difference? My approach is informed by the practice of mindfulness - the non-judgmental observation of the present moment. Research has shown mindfulness to be a highly effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and addiction. How is working in mindfulness different? In mindfulness we learn how to shift our emotional state from one of suffering to more empowered states of aliveness.
As a couples therapist, I am trained in EFT (Emotional Focused Therapy) and I enjoy helping couples who are struggling with issues of communication, connection, and trust. As a neutral third party I am able to help you and your partner untangle dysfunctional patterns and styles of interaction and attachment.
I have enjoyed working as a therapist for the gay and straight community in the Castro for over 20 years. My professional life is further informed by yoga, meditation, indigenous healing and neuroscience.
