Do you spend time worrying about the future or rehashing the past? Is it hard to stop your mind from racing? Conversely, is it hard to get moving? Are you aware of how stress impacts the body? Do you feel out of balance in your eating, sleeping, exercise, substance use, technology or relationships? If you are looking for more ease and well being now, in this moment, you may thrive with mindfulness informed treatment. Mindful tools help us live life to the fullest, without judgment, in the only place we are truly alive, the present moment. It's more about discovering what's right with you, than wrong. It's simple, but not easy.

People who seek treatment are often burdened with the worry that it might take too long, will "not work" or will come back. Since beginning clinical practice, I have always made it my business to have my patients engage in the therapy both in and out of session, understand the therapy process and stick to one's goals. The CBT model that I use and tailor to each particular individual's need, helps empower patients to reach their goals both in therapy and beyond... in life itself.

Do you feel like your emotions consume you? And it can be hard to focus on anything else? Is it difficult communicating with others effectively? Do you struggle to stay present when your emotions take hold of you? Sometimes act on that emotion and regret it later? Now, more than ever, people are aware of the importance of taking care of their mental health; but, are anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage the balancing act of feeling all of their feelings without letting their behaviors be driven by them. I believe it is possible to find that balance so that you can feel and heal with confidence.

Consider the messages you learned from your family growing up, and how those life lessons found their way into the way you view the world. How do they inform the way you see yourself? What is their impact on how you connect to others in relationships? In our work together we uncover deeply held beliefs about others and the world that may be causing us to repeat unhelpful patterns of behavior. Repeating these patterns can cause us to feel a myriad of negative feelings- confusion, frustration and loneliness. I aim to create a warm, empathic and caring relationship that allows you to feel heard and understood.
