There is always a path beyond what you're struggling with now. For 35 years I've had the privilege to help people like you look at their lives. I've helped them 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, to suffer less, to 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.
