I assist couples and adults with relationship difficulties, parenting, personal and professional life transitions, stress reduction, anxiety/depression, and grief. I use a combination of Mindfulness and Relational therapies because they support my belief that satisfying relationships within our self and with those we love provides the basis for a meaningful life. When our sense of connectedness to others is absent or threatened, life can feel very unsatisfactory. The effectiveness of Mindfulness based therapy is also supported by a large and growing body of scientific evidence. Relaxation and meditation practice can greatly assist individual and couples therapy. However, it is only included in therapy with the consent of the individual client. My interest in Mindfulness based psychotherapy is supported by personal practice. I've taken care to create an office environment that you will find comfortable and soothing because a peaceful physical environment supports awareness of our own internal state. I think you will find the office a safe place to to re-connect with your own ability to face life's challenges.
