Are you curious about your own moods and patterns? Have you always wanted to understand yourself better? Do you feel that you could feel so much happier if you had new or better coping skills? My approach to psychotherapy is to use my years of experience working with people who are open, eager to learn and who are craving a life that is more fulfilling with less worry, self-disparagement and suffering. I have a practical, down to earth style that will let you feel safe and open to growth and change. Underlying all change is expanded awareness and insight. I can help you build self-compassion through mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral skills and practices, so you can recognize your own thinking and emotional patterns. I have an empathic understanding of how anxious and depressive thinking can block growth and happiness. I invite you to get curious! We all struggle with so many of the same mind traps, moods and relationship snags, but often people feel that they are alone in these patterns. In a trusting, warm, therapeutic relationship with me, we can work together to create an individualized plan to match your needs and goals to feel more in control of your life. You are not alone in all of this!
