| Practice Description: |
Are there problems that are holding you back that you haven't been able to talk to anyone about -- or you have talked, and it hasn't helped? I offer a safe, open, and honest atmosphere where you can discover different perspectives that will help you get unstuck and move forward in your life. I bring over thirty years of experience in working with people who are feeling stressed or unhappy in their lives, and want to improve their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
I work with individuals and couples who want to reduce their worry and anxiety, and increase their joy and satisfaction. Together, we will work in a supportive, clear, and compassionate atmosphere, where you find your way clear of the obstacles and get you on your best path.

| Additional Comments: |
I am a psychotherapist in practice for over thirty years. I am committed in thought, word, and deed to my work with people who are interested in finding new ways to successfully live their lives.
Part of the way I work has been shaped by my interest and my belief in mindfulness. It is apparent to me that as we begin to trust ourselves, we can have more satisfying relationships.
Some of the writers and teachers who have influenced me over the years have included
* Sheldon Kopp, PhD
* Jack Kornfield, PhD
* Sylvia Boorstein, PhD
* Pema Chödrön
Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. If you have seen something here that interests you or seems like a path you might want to pursue, please contact me. Together, we can move you toward a more satisfying life. |
