I practice a mix of contemplative psychotherapy, which uses the Buddhist concepts of compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness, and cognitive psychotherapy which teaches us to identify distorted thinking and correct the unhelpful "tapes" which play in our heads. My style is active and down-to-earth. Pema Chodron sums up my orientation towards dealing with difficult times: "...When the bottom really falls out of our life, we know we're in a tender place. And we know that it's actually very rich." ...This is where we can begin, together, to work towards healing. I specialize in counseling adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, having difficulty with transitions and infidelities, grief, and issues of finding meaning in one's life. I am also experienced in working with women or families who are making the transition from pregnancy to new parenthood and women who are dealing with post-partum issues.
