I believe in the power of therapy and mindfulness meditation. I've been witness to the growth and flourishing of so many people, as they discover and release themselves from age-old blockages and fear. I know the power of releasing the 'inner critic' and the value of discovering 'wise mind.' My psychotherapy home office is a refuge, where you will have the space to look within, and free yourself from whatever inner cognition(s) are holding you back. I promise to bring you the most effective, evidence-based strategies, including advances in neuroscience, to increase your overall wellbeing and whole-heartedness.
I believe in the power of therapy and mindfulness meditation, and as such, I honor you. I offer a sliding scale, for those who do not have out of network insurance benefits. My intention is that you and I will set a fee that honors our work together, while being in a range that you can afford.
I am a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and offer meditation classes, as well as the author of the groundbreaking book, Creating the Capacity for Attachment. No matter if our work together is a few sessions or many more, my hope is for you to gain an increase in knowledge and skills that will enhance your life and enable you to reach your dreams.
