Psychotherapy can feel like putting all the pieces of a puzzle together—the pieces fit and make sense, and there is a new sense of clarity and wholeness.  

I have worked as a psychotherapist for 20 years, helping clients to be curious about themselves and their experience, understand their emotional patterns more deeply, and begin to make different choices for themselves today.  

Psychotherapy allows us to reflect on our past, to understand what may have led us to develop our habitual ways of thinking and being. But, just as important, psychotherapy also teaches us mindfulness—the skill of tuning in to our current experiences with genuine interest and openness. My clients often report that rather than feeling overwhelmed by feelings, or swept up in experiences in the same old way, they have a new ability to observe themselves in the moment, and make new and healthier choices for themselves.  

I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a research-based method which helps clients to work through difficult or traumatic experiences. EMDR affects the way our brain and body process information so that after a successful course of EMDR, clients find these difficult past experiences less distressing, and have new insight and perspective about themselves and the event.

I hope you’ll take some time to read more about my work, and contact me if you have any questions.
