I provide a trusting and warm relationship in which clients can begin to explore and change the hurtful patterns that keep them from living to their fullest potential and happiness. Using an integrative approach, I work with my clients to understand the ways in which their personal histories, as well as societal influences, have informed and limited their lives and relationships (both with self and others). Perhaps most importantly, we begin to look at how to transform and grow in the here and now. I utilize a practical approach that includes mindfulness, self-compassion, and behavioral interventions within a psychodynamic framework. I work with people who are dealing with the full range of human experiences including loss and grief, depression, self-esteem related difficulties, anxiety/panic, trauma, and addictions. I have practiced insight meditation for over 15 years and lead mindfulness groups/classes. This influences my approach with my clients and my understanding of their suffering, basic goodness, and ultimate ability to be alright in the midst of their difficulties. Deep self acceptance and self compassion practices are a core aspect of my approach.
