I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice since 1994, experienced in working with people across the life span (preschool through adulthood). I provide evidence-based therapy to treat a wide array of emotional, behavioral, and behavioral health issues. I believe in a strength-based approach, drawing from and building upon already existing strengths and internal resources within each person to empower people to move through their life challenges with greater ease. My goal is to give people the tools and skills they need to move from difficulty and suffering to greater joy and well-being by using techniques drawn from the practices of Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mind-Body Medicine, Positive Psychology, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Over the years I have experienced first-hand the power of meditation, mindfulness, and mind-body practices and have made these an integral part of my personal and professional life. I believe in not only helping people to address problems in their lives, but also in using integrative approaches to help transform their lives to experience greater well-being and wholeness.

My newest book (upon which this workshop is based) is Dancing on the Tightrope: Transcending the Habits of Your Mind and Awakening to Your Fullest Life. This book explores five common obstacles that we all face that take us away from living our fullest life, and it offers five tools that you can bring into your life to overcome these challenges and live a more resilient, full and joyful life. My other published books are: The Transformative Power of Ten Minutes: An Eight Week Guide to Reducing Stress and Cultivating Well-Being, and Gifts of the Rain Puddle: Poems, Meditations and Reflections for the Mindful Soul.
