Our feelings have many ways of telling us that our lives need attention. Sadness, anger, confusion, fatigue — these can be invitations to change.  The process can be simple but not easy. Sometimes it’s not even simple. But I invite you to a safe, respectful, supportive place where we can understand  what brought you here and can work together to attain your goals.   I often suggest mindfulness-based approaches to reduce anxiety, decrease stress, improve mood, and increase self-regulation skills. My work is grounded in meditation practices as well as in developmental psychology (especially attachment theory). As a therapist, I want to understand how you became who you are, and co-constructing an autobiography that includes your history with those closest often helps clarify what needs to be changed. But making needed changes generally involves mindful effort in the here-and-now.
