I provide personalized therapy for individuals and couples. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues.
I believe transformational change is possible and it is the goal of my work with clients from the very first session. My style is authentic and active, helping you access your own internal resources, gain insight into your experience and shift your sense of self--leading to a feeling of wellbeing in your life and new awareness of your strengths and capacities.
I work experientially with a focus in the moment on mindful awareness of your body/mind experience. I support you to access emotion in a safe and supportive process which can lead to transformational shifts in your sense of self.
I am an experienced, warm, compassionate therapist with a background in study of attachment theory, relational psychotherapy, affective neuroscience, trauma treatment and effective communication.
My practice is multi-cultural and diverse. I acknowledge the impact of cultural and political factors in our lives. The therapeutic relationship provides an experience of respect and mutual engagement that is central to this process of exploration and change.
I work with individual adults and couples (of all sexual orientations and gender identities) wishing to explore more satisfying ways of living. In our work together, I can help you clarify and transform the underlying patterns of thinking and feeling that are creating obstacles to healthy relationships and keeping you from living more fully in the present. I emphasize listening and responding in ways that are carefully attuned to your needs and are attentive to the larger social context in which you are living.
