As a mindfulness-based clinician, I serve individuals, couples, families, and children. It is my intention to guide clients in growing beyond the conflicts that initiated therapy. Often times, people embark on therapy, unknowing why problems persist. Therapy is a journey in which I intend to assist clients in uncovering the unknowns to create a more meaningful life, to better navigate life stressors/unexpected events, and increase confidence in decision making. With intervention and therapeutic alliance, we will work together to reduce the internal conflicts that may contribute to the external problems.
