About

If you're having the experience of living with distress or discomfort, troubling thoughts, feelings and behaviors, perhaps alongside reactions to what is happening in the world around us, I can help by having us make sense of things together so you'll both feel and do better. I also work with couples to enhance connectedness and repair ruptures from the past or present. I proceed in a conversational manner, tho am comfortable listening at length during certain periods. I value the importance of holding an empathic stance and exploring, while using additional methods or concepts from mindfulness, DBT and CBT approaches. I find that people are helped there when there's a sense of protected safety to bring about self acceptance and awareness. This leads to the upward spiral of manageable changes that go with feeling/doing better, often early on in treatment. If things aren't working that means I need to shift my approach, and I hope that we'll be able to discuss that.
