Welcome! I am happy to familiarize you with the kind of psychotherapy that I offer. Are you considering an alternative healing approach that combines applied meditation with conventional talk therapy? I offer this kind of therapy, often called "mindfulness-based" psychotherapy, as well as more conventional approaches in my work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. I have been a clinician for fourteen years in many settings including hospital and community clinics and private practice. In addition I supervise and train therapist-interns. I really cherish this work and feel quite fortunate to use the relationships I create with my clients to help them live meaningful lives. What a precious gift!
About your search for a therapist and the right kind of therapy, first, let me say that if you are considering psychotherapy, please pay close attention to what you need, what you would like to get from therapy, and what qualities you are looking for in a therapist. Knowing what to look for and how to judge what's right for you can take some time. There are many types of therapy and many therapists to consider.
Among health services psychotherapy is unique in that it consists of a relationship between the client and therapist that is built on trust, empathy, skill, knowledge and intuition. This relationship is to an important degree what makes therapy effective. Did you know that benefiting from therapy depends not only on the training and skill of the therapist but also on the quality of the relationship that the client and therapist build together? Interesting, isn't it?
"In general, the best therapy is had when the client feels safe and consistently understood, and the therapist is accurately and consistently attuned to the client."
