Change starts with the relationship that we form in the therapy and then continues by building useful skills in and outside of our sessions. In practice this means that I fit best with clients who are interested in (1) understanding more about their thoughts and emotions while also (2) taking clear steps to improve their mental and physical well-being. My job as the therapist is to provide a warm and caring environment to support the client in this process.
My specialty is a blend of mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. First, mindfulness builds awareness and acceptance of experience. Then, self-compassion soothes and brings a sense of warmth and comfort to all areas of life. Finally, cognitive and behavioral techniques are used to produce profound changes in thinking and behavior.
My process begins with a brief phone call to see if we're a good match. On the call we discuss what came up in the assessment, and I spend a little time describing my approach and why it might or might not work for you. Prior to the first session, you're sent a comprehensive online assessment that saves us time so we can get concrete tools sooner.

The Basics of Mental Posture (sliding scale)
This psychoeducation group program covers Dr. Armstrong's "Mental Posture". Just as physical posture is the way you carry your body in the world, mental posture is the way you carry yourself mentally. It's a combination of mindful attention, warm self-compassion and self-care and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset. With these three components, you will have the foundation to start building a life of meaning and value. This group is intended to run monthly. Contact us for the next start date!
