How can I help? For 35 years I've had the privilege to help people like you look at their lives and find ways to directly look at the pain, fear, anger, shame, depression, trauma, and other struggles that feel overwhelming. More importantly, I've helped people move beyond today's focus on pain and struggle to discover new ways to manage their lives, suffer less, and feel more space, trust, and aliveness.

I completed my MA in Buddhist and Contemplative Psychology in 1992 and have added extensive training in mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, Dialogue Therapy for couples, and addictions. But methods alone don't heal. We'll build a strong therapeutic partnership over time to help you feel like yourself again.

My "job" as a therapist is to establish an environment where you feel safe enough to look deeply at who you are and how you live in your world. We'll look at how and where you feel caught, and together find the right approaches to help you understand and move beyond old patterns that limit your life and create suffering. We'll do this through open conversation, guided awareness and exploration, and mindful practices. Ultimately, my goal is that you live your life more fully and freely.

I have limited "self-schedule" appointments available on Headway. If you wish to set up an intake appointment and these times can't work please contact me directly as I manage the rest of my full-time schedule myself. If we meet, our first session will be orientation, evaluation, and the beginning stages of therapy. We'll start by understanding your current "situation" and what brings you to therapy. I'll begin to understand who you are, establish how we create a safe space to look at your life, and begin to address your concerns. Before the end of our first session I would want to have at least a beginning understanding of what your goals for therapy are, and have taken first steps to move towards some relief and healing.
