We maintain a broad psychotherapy practice that includes individual, couple and family psychotherapy with children, adolescents and adults. Our mindful psychotherapy style is to join with you, utilizing contemporary psychodynamic principles, to help you address your concerns. During this process, the aim is to help you understand your own development and construction in a meaningful way that allows you to become unstuck from concerns that you have. More specifically, this depth-focused approach is aimed at helping you as an individual, couple or family, gain insight into both your past and present, so that you can be able to make clearer and healthier choices about your present and future.
