I offer mindfulness-based individual psychotherapy for those who want to understand their relationships better, manage their stress or anger better, or just figure out how to have a happier more fulfilling life.

I'm also a board approved clinical supervisor, and love providing professional or personal support for new clinicians.

I combine strategic behavioral approaches with a post-modern/mindfulness-based understanding. The way I see it, everything you do is an earnest attempt to meet a legitimate need. The problem is that sometimes you might pick a bad strategy for getting that need met. It might be bad because it doesn't work, or it might be successful in the short run, but problematic over time.

I like to think of therapy as a place to find acceptance, to develop a better understanding of yourself, and to design some experiments to run in your life. Any time I have a suggestion, it's just an experiment. If it works, awesome you now have a new tool. If it doesn't, awesome you now have more data for designing a better solution.
