About Us

I view therapy as an invitation to bring awareness to the here and now. For many of us, we press forward, through, and over difficult feelings when they arise in our daily lives. Often they show up as unwanted thoughts or images. They not only fill us with dread, but we will go to great lengths to avoid them. On the other hand, what if moving toward our feelings actually reduces the influence they have over us, allowing us to attend to the very things we value, thereby creating meaning and purpose in our lives. , I have worked extensively with individuals, couples, and families whose traumatic or painful experiences--either recent or past--contribute to their current problems or difficulties. With attention, understanding, acceptance and changes in thought and behavior patterns, healing and recovery is not only possible, but can leave you in a more resilient state. , I grew up in the United Kingdom and moved to the United States in 2001. I completed my undergraduate psychology training at Bath Spa University, Bath, UK, and postgraduate psychology training at the New School for Social Research, New York City, NY, and the Fielding Institute, Santa Barbara, CA.
