Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
It is hard being a person. We often engage in patterns of feeling, thought and action that reliably lead to suffering. These patterns arise in response to difficult and even traumatic experiences. They made good sense at some point, but now get in the way, causing anxiety, depression, shame and frustration. I work with people to bring increased awareness to the human potential caught up in old patterns, and via that awareness, to an enhanced sense of choice and self confidence and ease. My work draws on your wisdom, as well as my own. I've helped many people challenged by family history, trauma, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, burnout, isolation, grief and chronic illness to resolve difficulties at work, home or in relationships. I use mindfulness to help cultivate self compassion, and conversation focused on developing strengths that foster change and stability in your life. Combining talk therapy, mindfulness training and years of experience as an acupuncturist gives me deep confidence in your ability to heal and grow. A close and kind listener, I use story, metaphor and humor in my work. My focus is on getting results in the context of a caring relationship.
