“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be who we know we could be”-Emmerson

There is more right with us than there is wrong with us. It can be hard to see this when dealing with depression, anxiety, pain, illness, trauma, grief, addiction, money problems, stress, relationship problems or problems related to making a transition, e.g. retirement. The skills of mindfulness return us to awareness. With practice, we can become more awake and in touch with the vibrancy of our lives. Reconnecting with our deepest values, we find the ability to face our difficulties with courage and integrity, and participate wholeheartedly in our lives.

I have been a social worker since 1982, with broad experience in the field of mental health, working with individuals, couples, and groups.  I have several years experience practicing and teaching skills of mindfulness and meditation. In addition, I use cognitive-behavioral therapies, (CBT)  and psychoeducation to help you overcome negative repetitive patterns and irrational beliefs leading to depression, anxiety and/or low self-esteem with a person-centered approach.

In an atmosphere of safety, presence, and compassionate listening, together we bring gentle, wise attention to areas of imbalance and stress. The focus is on seeing and accepting ourselves as whole as well as expanding tools and abilities to work with difficulty. I use a systematic approach and help you get the  results you want. I believe that through self-reflection and insight in the context of acceptance and support, people can transform and resolve their difficulties and achieve real and lasting change.
