About My Clients

My perfect client is creative, empathetic and interested in exploring how to build a life of meaning. They are ready to work to uncover the goodness and wellness that already exists at their core.

My Background and Approach

Together we will be utilizing mindfulness and other cutting edge therapeutic techniques to change your relationship to yourself, your thoughts, and your emotions at the neurological level while practicing, opening, and strengthening your capacity to experience joy, compassion, forgiveness, and love in a way that is systematic and scientific. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT): This approach works by first helping you get very clear on who you want to be in the world and what you want your life to be like. This therapeutic method then provides a tool box of cutting edge skills and techniques to help you detach from problematic repetitive thinking, render intense emotions harmless and to get you closer to the best version of your life. I also use Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. This method helps you change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings so drastically that you can be at ease no matter what comes across the mental screen.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people are not a diagnosis. i believe people are healthy, loving, OK and compassionate at their core. I believe all human beings have basic goodness as the basis of their being. I believe counseling isn't just about "getting rid of the bad"... it's about getting in contact with the whole being of a person and helping them see just how healthy and ready to thrive they are.
