In private practice since 2006, I continue to feel honored to get to know my clients. My hope with each person is that we will create a space together in which a unique healing relationship may unfold. To facilitate that space, I tend to focus on your feelings and how they are held in the body; on past experiences and how they relate to current feelings and relational patterns; on how relational patterns may be being repeated within the therapy; on the richness of your internal world (that emerges, for example, in dreams, daydreams, artwork, etc.); and on awareness itself, within which all of the above happens. The goal is not just symptom remission, which is also important of course, but on an expansion of your capacity to find meaning and enjoyment in your life. You, as the client, are asked to: show up regularly; be curious about how you are experiencing your life; be open to alternate possibilities, viewpoints, and ways of experiencing yourself. I have extensive experience working with individuals with all types of anxiety, depression, and trauma. After 25+ years of meditation practice I also enjoy working with meditators and artists experiencing impasse. Finally, I welcome couples and families who are interested in enriching their experience of each other.
