With mindful awareness, we can examine what works and what doesn’t work in your life or in your relationship and what can be done to help change it. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, couples or marital problems, intimacy and sexuality concerns, recovery from addiction and 12-Step work, we can work together to find what constraints are keeping you feeling stuck and how to move beyond them or to help them loosen their hold on you.

Mindfulness and Psychotherapy work together to help people overcome their problems. For people struggling with trauma, marriage counseling, addictions recovery, anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsions, self-esteem, assertiveness or intimacy we can work together to help find meaning in your life

You are the expert in your life. Your goals, dreams and aspirations are your own. My goal is to help you move in the direction you want to move. By learning about your values and perspective, together we can identify goals and direction and the most effective way of working together.

People often come to therapy feeling embarrassed or inadequate with their inner-critic complaining they should not be having problems. Everyone has problems, and it’s not easy to change. Our habit patterns are developed over years and can even be said to span back generations as we have learned from what our parents and grandparents learned. Our conditioning begins before we were born.

At the core of change is the need to have helpful partner and guide. A good relationship with a trusting other is essential to successfully being able to speak aloud what is too often kept quiet and secret; to experience support where in the past there was none; to experience continuity and trust where skillful risks can take place and mistakes can be made without fear of reprisal, betrayal or abandonment. With me, you will treated ethically and regarded with dignity out of respect for your boundaries and the vulnerability that is bound to arise during the therapeutic process.
