My Approach to Therapy

Would you like to develop a sense of well-being and joyfulness and improve relationships? You can do so! A lifetime of Zen Buddhist practice and wisdom melded with Western insight as embodied in psychotherapy, and much life experience, are what I bring so that you can benefit. As a result of expanding your insight and connecting to your own deep energy and wisdom, you can improve harmony of mind and body, find true joy, and make a positive impact and contribution in the world. *** Accepting insurance that provides out-of-network coverage (e.g. PPO and POS plans); also accepting self-pay. I cannot work with Medicaid nor with most Medicare and ACA insurance plans. *** We have open conversations where all your thoughts and experiences are welcome, and we can focus on areas that show laden emotionality and potential for your growth and increased self-awareness and acceptance. It is like opening a good door in your mind that may never have been opened before. As trust develops, you will be able to speak more and more freely and connect on the issues that have the most impact for you. I also engage in order to question ideas that seem to be misunderstandings or self-limiting, in order to help you find more clarity and positive energy. Clients report feeling seen and heard, and feeling relief of anxiety, depression, and phobias as their true needs and experiences are being heard, clarified, and responded to. Clients of all ethnicities, races, ages, and sexual orientations are welcome and treated with respect and dignity.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

There is nothing more rewarding than deeply connecting with another human being. The work of psychotherapy consists of having authentic, insightful conversations with clients. In the process they feel more peace and clarity, and the therapist feels the joy of being there for other people and making a positive difference. In addition, I enjoy seeing people enjoy their relationships and their career advancement and work success through more clarity, purpose, and effective communication.
