“Without therapists, we are very unreliable narrators of our own stories” (Russian Doll, 2019). In it’s simplest form this is the goal for talk-therapy: sharing your life and having someone listen who might even be skilled enough to help narrate your very own unique story. As a clinician, my goal is to walk alongside you and support you to remove self, familial and societal limitations that are preventing you from living an effective and fulfilled life. My approach blends both Western and Eastern Psychology; I integrate mindfulness and meditation into my sessions. I work individually with adolescents, adults, and couples. I also facilitate groups. I specialize in treating substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. I have a strong foundation in both mindfulness training and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, both work to increase one’s resilience and authenticity in the world while decreasing self-doubt and disconnection. Beginning the therapeutic relationship can be uncomfortable and anxiety-provoking. I guarantee to make that first step as painless as possible. Therapy is for everyone it’s just about finding the right therapist. Email or call; I’m looking forward to hearing form you!
