General Practice Area: I work with individual adults, couples, and young adults who are dealing with issues such as: emotional challenges (e.g., anxiety, anger, depression, grief), recovery from unwanted behaviors such as excessive use of substances, compulsive sexuality or internet use, relationship problems, spiritual concerns of any kind. In addition to traditional talk therapy discussion, I use mind-body awareness, meditation exercises, and the creative arts, such as narrative, drawing or writing as possible therapeutic tools. My first goal is to create a welcoming, respectful and confidential space for authentic dialogue. My approach combines working toward practical change with the potential of exploring issues on a deeper level. With individuals, I encourage emotional, cognitive and mind-body mindfulness, and an exploration of life themes and family patterns. My work with young adults is engaged and informal. In couples counseling, I favor the ideas of John Gottman and Harville Hendrix, who call for friendship, passion and safety within relationships. Fifteen years professional counseling experience.

In therapy, I create an empathetic environment in which clients do not feel judged.
