About Us

There is a misconception that therapy is a place to seek advice, or vent to a therapist who sits passively, nodding with tacit understanding. Instead, imagine a therapy that makes no attempt to reduce symptoms, but achieves symptom reduction as a by-product. The more time and energy we spend trying to control, avoid, or get rid of unwanted private experiences the more we are likely to suffer psychologically in the long term. Therapy can support mindful action and direction which can then create a more meaningful life, even in the presence of pain. , My approach emphasizes an orchestration between educational, interactional, cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness and mind/body connectedness. Talking about your life in a structured, mindful, and confidential manner can move you in the direction of creating a rich and meaningful life, while accepting the pain that inevitably goes with it. , I am interactive in sessions, maintaining a challenging yet warm, compassionate, accepting, respectfully supportive presence. I have a sense of humor and tend to help people feel at ease. I encourage feedback throughout our work together in order for you to have a satisfying experience in therapy. I structure the frequency of meeting according to your needs.
