Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. - Carl Jung
As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in mindfulness-based psychotherapy. Mindfulness can be understood as paying attention to our present-moment experience without preference or judgment. Such ongoing awareness and acceptance allows us to respond to our moods and circumstances with greater clarity, openness and warmth instead of reacting to them with habitual tension and stress.
I work with adults and couples who are seeking support with difficult transitions, challenging relationships, traumatic experience, anxiety and depression, and integrating psychological and spiritual work. I take particular interest in helping my clients work through feelings of "being stuck," be it in the domain of relationships, work, or personal habits that are no longer serving us.
My present-centered, strength-based, and collaborative approach emphasizes enhanced awareness of our sensations, feelings, thoughts, and relationship patterns to increase enjoyment, freedom, and meaning in our lives.
My therapy practice is based in Fairfax, CA. I also serve as an adjunct professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco, where I teach Advanced Psychotherapy and Humanistic and Mindfulness-Based Therapies.
