Psychotherapy

 I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual psychotherapy with adults and adolescents, and couples therapy with partners and married couples. My style is warm, active, and respectful, and blends various approaches including: relationship-oriented psychotherapy, EMDR, mindfulness, useful tools and strategies, and strength-based resourcing. I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, relationship struggles, work and school stress, parenting, and LGBTQ issues. In therapy we slow down and balance mindful attention to your current patterns, struggles and strengths, with deeper understanding of their roots in your history. This kind of reflection frees you up to know yourself more deeply, make different choices and be your best self.

"Needless to say, we are not required to choose between a reflective stance (that helps us see the patterns in our experience over time) and mindful a one (that helps us to deeply inhabit our experience of the present moment). In psychotherapy, both stances can be healing, and each may well potentiate the other."
--David J. Wallin, Attachment in Psychotherapy
