A compassionately attuned, unconditionally accepting collaboration is my priority with you.  I offer you an experience of emotional safety, deep listening and understanding, and hope for real growth and change.    I hold a deep respect for the sanctity of the therapy process and the therapeutic relationship.  When you confide your story to me, you can trust that your confidentiality is protected. I can help you realize these benefits of psychotherapy... *improved self-esteem *healthier, more satisfying relationships *healing from loss and grief *support in understanding teen issues *more effective parenting skills *support in moving through life transitions / clarifying life purpose *improved stress management *more effective communication and coping skills *increased self-awareness and personal growth *reduced family conflict / recovery from family of origin issues *relief from depression *relief from anxiety. My approach to healing is holistic, humanistic, strengths-based, psychodynamic, and relational, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness.  In working with couples, I draw from Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, as well as the work of John Gottman.  I welcome diversity and embrace a social justice perspective.   Whether you want to more effectively manage a specific life challenge, or to cultivate deeper self-awareness as a catalyst for personal growth, your engagement in therapy is an investment in yourself, your relationships, and your quality of life.
