Welcome Everyone
. . . to a relational, experiential based clinical psychology practice.
Hello and thanks for visiting this website.
Every day, if one directs energy to task, a person can follow a path
encompassing personal growth and well-being. Each new day is a new beginning.
Maladaptive attitudes and habits are malleable and can be made adaptive.
What if we could make use of troubling or painful body sensations, feelings,
thoughts, behaviors and personality traits to transform experience and as a
result, suffer less? Having daily distress and impairment is indication the
approach in how we conduct life may need revision. The acquisition of
knowledge and skills to adaptively interpret and integrate current distress
and impairment is more relevant to balanced holistic health than controlling,
ignoring, blocking, resisting or avoiding maladaptive functioning. In fact,
trying to control, ignore, block, resist or avoid what bothers or impedes us
may often amplify suffering. An alternate, dynamic path may be for us to
engage in satisfying and enjoyable activities that promote relational
acceptance of self, reshaping ourselves and regaining homeostasis.
As a California Board licensed clinician, my goal is to facilitate cultivation
of insight, awareness, empathy, compassion and self-acceptance, which in turn
allows for a vibrant and purposeful life. In an authentic, safe, caring,
comfortable, supportive atmosphere I offer mental healthcare services to
children, adolescents and adults of every ethnicity, cultural background,
gender and sexual orientation, tailored for specific need, to attain personal
growth and transformative-healing oriented wellness.
Through the application of complementary Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy
(PIT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(MBCBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Dialectical Behavior
Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - theory -
approaches - interventions, we can achieve transformation in personality,
body, emotion, thought and behavior. This is done by in depth processing of
difficult emotional and relational experience. In this experiential way we can
realize our potential as insightful, empathic, compassionate, aware, vital
human beings. Together we can explore and examine personal values while
learning committed action to achieve an objective of leading a meaningful
life. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging
situation or are ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working
with you to realize those goals.
