I’m working with several of my clients on developing Self-Compassion. I’m also preparing materials for my study group on the topic. I wish we all learned how to treat ourselves as kindly as we treat those we love and care about instead of engaging in such self-criticism that we harm ourselves. Self-Compassion helps when struggling with shame, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and a lot of other states that cause us suffering. If you want to know more about how to increase your own self-compassion, take a look at self-compassion.org. Having self-compassion helps us take a closer look at our own behavior and ways of being and grow instead of avoiding the emotional pain that self-reflection brings.

My work is rooted in a life-long desire to understand more fully who we are and why we are who we are. I work to help clients reflect on patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, reacting emotionally, struggling with internal conflicts, and using psychological defenses that seem to protect but are often limiting and out of conscious awareness. My training is rooted in Family Systems Theory, Relational Therapy, Marriage and Family Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, Attachment Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Neuroscience. I believe that each person I work with is unique and we have to have a relationship that fosters safety and trust.
I treat symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma effects, low self-esteem, self-limiting and self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors. I also specialize in relationship issues, childhood and family of origin issues, posttraumatic stress disorder, and issues of sexuality. I use many different approaches and tools for achieving the goals of therapy.
I am driven to continue studying to improve my skill set and further my understanding of the human mind. In order to have more time to study, reflect, and do some writing, I have reduced my caseload to approximately 15 sessions per week and am only in my office seeing clients Mondays through Wednesdays.
