About

I believe how humans experience growth and how they change are the big themes of psychology. We grow and change through our relationships with others, but sometimes we can get stuck in certain relationship patterns that cause distress. Uncovering the dynamics of these patterns, how they affect our self-concept, our feelings, our understanding of others, and our nervous systems can be healing. Practicing new patterns of emotion, thought, and behavior, whether through talk therapy, mindfulness practices, or a combination of both, can assist growth and change toward more compassion and connection in our lives. My orientation to psychology integrates interpersonal, psychodynamic, creative, and somatic/mindfulness approaches, each looking at different aspects of our relationship to the world around us. I focus on connectivity and context—the whole picture of someone’s life—and this forms the basis of my practice and treatment. Healing, rather than pathology!
