About My Clients

I serve individuals and couples, who are seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, mid-life transitions, grief and loss and chronic illness.

My Background and Approach

My goal is to help you navigate a path through life's difficult and often debilitating challenges not by erasing them, but by changing your relationship to them. Through mindful awareness and compassionate inquiry, we will work to untangle what has kept you stuck, ease the weight of overwhelm, and gently restore your sense of connection to yourself, to others, and to what matters most to you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Being fully supported in life is critical to everyones' wellbeing. I believe that therapy is one tool to help people navigate the challenges in life and be one form of support. For me, the other important support legs are to get outside to find joy and peace as often as I can, even if it is an urban walk appreciating the street trees and fresh air with my dog. My free-time is spent supporting my community by volunteering for youth sports organizations, silversmithing and spending time with family and friends.
