I work with people from all walks of life and love diversity - cultural, personal, and professional, including business people and people in the creative and performing arts, as well as students. I work with adults of all ages, and am very curious about the various and often daunting challenges younger people face as contemporary culture becomes ever more complex, though these issues are of import to folks of all ages. Beyond my formal training, I bring my own style; open-minded, creative and grounded, well-informed, understanding, and intellectually curious. My intention is to balance an active approach with the patience to listen to and truly hear you, while gently facing difficult issues together. I have an active and engaged style and a willingness to take feedback into account. I invite you to participate fully in the work, and will work with you to enable you to take a more active role in your own process of healing, self-inquiry, and relief of suffering. In my experience, psychotherapy is a unique and ongoing collaborative process, in which each participant, patient and therapist, make significant contributions in their different roles. If you are in therapy already, I provide psychiatric medication consultation, and work using a team approach with your current therapist. Regardless of the treatment setting, I emphasis a comprehensive integrative approach which also includes optimizing lifestyle and general health, balancing biological, psychological and social factors to provide the best result possible.
