Historymy experience ranges within the mind-body field. I have worked in community mental health for over 13 years in community, home, clinical, research and IOP settings. I have been teaching yoga and am inspired by the renewable and holistic approaches that engage our mind-body in healing and I practice with a keen eye on communication and building a picture for working with loss, conflict, traumatic events, parenting and mental health diagnoses. what you encounter in sessions with me, may be very different than what you would expect from a typical mental health perspective- i practice a health oriented model as opposed to a disease model for care.Specialtiesdo you find yourself getting stuck in the same frustrating pattern with your partner and or child? It seems you have tried everything under the sun? I work with kids, teens, young adults and families. I frequently work with folks who have been diagnosed with multiple diagnoses that seem chronic and persistent. Some common issues I have helped with are parent child conflict, school related problems, mood, anxiety and trauma , focus and ASD.I offer a confidential, collaborative, mindful pragmatic approach to therapy.
