MY APPROACH-

For the past sixteen years, I have been working individually with men and women of all ages to help them find their way through symptoms of anxiety and depression.  Often my work focuses on how we relate to ourselves.  By cultivating self-compassion, I believe we can begin to realize and feel our intrinsic wholeness.  In addition to traditional talk therapy, I utilize mind/body techniques as well as mindfulness based cognitive therapy tools to explore any self perceptions that may have you feeling restricted and unfulfilled in your life.  

 

I also help clients to navigate interpersonal relationships, which can challenge us and have such an impact on our sense of community and place in the world.  I attend to health, wellness, self-esteem and humor in my practice as they are definitively connected to psychological well-being and healing.  Additionally, I believe it is so important to honor the therapeutic pace and personal goals of each individual that I work with.  I bring a mindful, attuned, non-judgmental presence to each session allowing for an individualized and safe therapeutic experience.       

 

Other Approaches-In my practice, I am skilled at providing treatment for anxiety with an individualized body-based anxiety reduction and management approach.  Techniques may include meditation, visualization, breath work and/or guided imagery.  I find that a body-based approach to anxiety combined with traditional talk therapy can be very effective in reducing anxiety symtoms over time.
