I am genuinely interested in guiding my clients to cultivate a greater degree of resilience to life's inevitable challenges. I teach my clients to utilize mindfulness practices to calibrate their moods, alter their attitudes, develop greater mental flexibility, develop acceptance, and improve overall happiness and well being. This approach works as a positive foundation for most issues that bring clients to my counseling office: counteracting depression and anxiety, accepting grief and loss, parenting challenges, improving significant relationships, addressing post-partum problems, and dealing with the challenges of life in general. I am also a trained couples therapist from The Couples Institute. This approach gives couples tools to move successfully through the developmental stages that all relationships face and teaches partners to replace their negative cycles with more effective strategies to achieve the relationship they desire. I am trained as both a psychotherapist and a coach. I find that these approaches inform each other; I utilize a blend of techniques to assist my clients in finding their own answers and solutions to the issues they face and to develop better understanding of themselves.
