Building resilience is the foundation to my therapeutic approach. Resilience is often defined as the capacity to recover from difficult life events and to withstand adversity. With increased resilience it is possible to develop a greater capacity to experience the present moment, heal from past and current stressors, and enjoy life more fully. Resilient people know how to utilize their strengths and support systems to overcome challenges and work through obstacles in order to thrive, rather than merely survive. Utilizing a range of psychotherapy approaches, along with accessible mindfulness tools, we collaborate towards resilience, growth, and healing.​
