We live in a culture that emphasizes feeling good and being happy. But the reality is, we all face challenges or challenging times, and sometimes friends and family don't have the resources to provide all the help we need. I have over 25 years of experience training and working in the behavioral health field. I work collaboratively and respectfully to support you with proven methods to compassionately and gently foster change and recovery. I will work with your other providers, mindful of your unique strengths while helping you to live your life in accord with your deepest values.
I work to be truly engaged and present with you, while respecting your innate expertise and abilities. While I use a range of evidence-based interventions, including cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational, I may also employ methods, equally science-based, that have developed from work in mindfulness and meditation.
If you are having difficulty coping with a chronic health condition like fibromyalgia or insomnia, you should know that effective treatments are available. These conditions are often misunderstood and under-treated, and I am eager to help you find the treatment that works.
