I believe that every human being is like a guest house. Every day there is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some temporary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Typically, we reject what we don’t enjoy and only welcome and entertain the “feel good” moments and emotions. My goal is to help individuals welcome and entertain all moments and emotions. I will help find ways to treat each guest honorably. The dark thoughts, the shame, the bitterness – meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes in because each is a guide for balance and harmony. I have been working with adolescents, individuals, couples and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have extensive training in the area of trauma. I specialize in issues such as anxiety, depression, anger management, court required assessments, PTSD, grief and loss and caregiver issues. I work with people from many different backgrounds, circumstances & with many different coping skills. Part of my approach is to understand and honor the uniqueness of every individual. I also understand and work with the nuances of different cultural backgrounds and needs.
