Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I believe all of us have an infinite capacity to heal ourselves. Accessing that capacity is not always easy. Fear blocks our ability to think clearly and creatively and to act with confidence. When our fears are taken seriously and addressed completely with compassion and curiosity they relax and we are able to access the qualities within ourselves that give us the ability to face our challenges. I enjoy helping adults (18 to 80+), couples and families move from feeling stuck, frustrated, anxious, hopeless and overwhelmed to feeling confident in their ability to meet the the challenges of their lives. I have found that the fastest way to help you get where you want to go is to have you slow down and focus your attention inward on the thoughts, emotions, beliefs and physical sensations (the parts of you) that are being triggered by the problems you are facing. My approach to treatment is holistic and non-pathologizing meaning I consider the whole person: mind, body and spirit and I consider your symptoms not as signs of illness or weakness but as your body's way of telling you that you need to pay attention and make a change.
