Employing evidence-based approaches, I work with clients using mindfulness practice, Somatic Experiencing™ and other psychodynamic modalities to develop resilience, release trauma from the body, and reduce the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety and shame that inhibit many people from feeling fully alive and embracing their own path.

Individual therapy is for those seeking greater resilience and the ability to be with life challenges without being overwhelmed by them. It is also aimed at enriching relationships and bringing greater ease and honesty into everyday life. The focus may be on patterns of shame, anxiety, depression, anger, or numbness. While the past is significant in the process, my work focuses on the way issues show up in present time, including in sessions between client and therapist. Together, we become more aware of habitual patterns, the nervous system is allowed to process these safely, and there is thus more freedom in the present. 

50-minute sessions are $220.

Finding or deepening authentic relationship means having the security and space with one another to be open, grow together, and learn from conflict without being afraid of it. In relationship counseling we explore the emotional states that come up with intimate partners in whatever constellation you are living in or aspire to. My work with clients focuses on taking ownership of one's role in relationship patterns, practicing honest and engaged communication, understanding and working through attachment styles, and developing and practicing new strategies to connect authentically and honestly.

I generally recommend 75-minute sessions for relationship work.

   Mediation

The mediation work I do aims to resolve conflicts between two or more people who have the intention to preserve or even enhance their relationship through the conflict. I have worked as an attorney, a therapist, and a Buddhist, with couples, groups, families, neighbors, colleagues, and friends, who are faced with personal and practical issues related to the workplace, family histories, group dynamics, legal conflicts, and relationship dissolution. The goal of this short-term work is to address specific areas of conflict; understand the immediate practical, emotional, and relational issues; and develop the communication skills necessary to resolve the conflict that also enhance the relationship of the parties.  

60-minutes sessions are $300.
