I offer collaborative psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, and substance use, using naturalistic research-supported approaches that enhance awareness, access strengths, and build skills. These approaches - which vary according to individual needs and preferences - include mindfulness, depth-oriented counseling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Existential Psychotherapy. Particular concerns may include worry, panic, obsession, procrastination, grief, esteem, frustration, habits, and/or motivation. The overarching model promotes psychological growth, transcendence of purpose-limiting "world views," and personal empowerment.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with more than 30 years of experience in mental health and substance use treatment. I have learned that clients are the real experts on themselves. Let's work together in exploring the kind of life you want and ways to get there.
I am author of journal articles on collaborative assessment & therapy, and co-author of the book, Mindfulness-Based Sobriety (2014). My experience w/ mindfulness began 35 years ago w/ training at the San Francisco Zen Center and has continued with training and practice in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Zazen meditation.
