Individual Therapy & Couples Counseling

I specialize in work with adults who have a history of addiction and are in recovery, the families and friends affected by addiction, adults suffering with depression and anxiety, those adjusting to or in the process of major life changes, adults with self-worth issues,  and a wide range of other needs and histories.  My approach to psychotherapy is always collaborative, respectful and non-pathologizing. 

Clients often want to work with me because of my many years of meditation practice, my use of present moment styled therapies including Gestalt and Internal Family Systems (IFS) .  Both of these models of psychotherapy help my clients to experience first hand and come to understand how we all have been formed by our early experiences and that we can heal and change our beliefs about others and ourselves as well as our behaviors.  No one model of psychotherapy can benefit a client until there is a compassionate connection between the client and therapist.  

I am trained in the IMAGO model of couples work.   After taking a history of your parents relationship and yours, I will teach you the couples communication used by IMAGO which helps my couples clients have less reactive communication..  

Making the commitment to begin psychotherapy can be fraught with anxiety. It's important to me that clients feel supported at our first session and throughout the course of treatment. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
