About
My goal is to help you live and act with integrity, increasing ability to respond - while maintaining compassion for the changes that take support, time & practice. My experience lends itself to those touched by abandonment, childhood traumas & addiction - be it those trying to recover from addictions themselves, or those affected by another's. I do not believe in 'fixing' people, but rather dismantling the myths of being broken. Experience shows that our greatest challenges are often unsprouted seeds to the most potent strengths. Our task is to usher that growth. My therapeutic framework integrates Acceptance Commitment & Dialectical Behavioral Therapies; Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Insight Dialogue, philosophy, 12 Step Principles & art. I have been a student of martial arts & meditation since age five. These practices have a profound influence on my work. My style is often direct, informal & conversational. There is no right or wrong for us to engage therapy, yet willingness & open minds help. "Do not 'educate' the people, but kindly guide their exploration...When one knows that they do not know, one finds their own way...The simplest pattern is the clearest. Content in ordinary life, one can show people the way back to their own true nature." Lao-Tzu
