Therapy is about healing. It's about bringing careful attention to emotional wounds (both old and new) and working with the difficult mental/emotional patterns that interfere with our ability to be healthy and happy. In my practice, I create a client-centered, safe, and confidential environment that makes this work both possible and rewarding. I participate fully in the client's process, holding the space that can allow healing to occur. Most would describe my style as interactive and relational. Depending on the client and presenting need, my treatment modality ranges between Cognitive-Behavioral, mindfulness-based, and psychodynamic. I have almost a decade of experience providing successful psychotherapy to clients ranging in age from five to over one-hundred years old. My treatment specialties include: anxiety and depression, teens, family therapy, addiction, major life changes, grief and loss, couples counseling, and coping with chronic disease/pain. Mindfulness is a core component of my practice. This means that I participate with an open heart, mind and spirit of unconditional acceptance. Together, my clients and I not only identify problematic mental and emotional patterns, but establish a means for working through them through practices of compassionate investigation.
