My Approach


I enjoy helping clients empower themselves by expanding emotional flexibility, building positive communication patterns, and contradicting negative self-concepts and feelings of isolation.

 

I utilize clinical techniques from a variety of schools of thought, ranging from humanistic psychology to evidence-based practices, in addition to mindfulness and meditative practices. My focus areas include, but are not limited to:

 

  • Adolescents and teens
  • Anxiety
  • Blended families
  • Coping skills
  • Couples
  • Depression
  • Divorce
  • Family of origin issues 
  • Healing from sexual abuse and trauma
  • Intergenerational dynamics
  • Grief and loss
  • Identity issues
  • Improving relationships
  • Life transitions
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Processing anger


How do We Begin?

Generally, therapy begins with you formulating goals or aspirations for yourself and perhaps your loved ones. Once this has happened, and you have decided to contact me, we speak on the phone for an initial, complimentary consultation and decide together if we are a good fit. Then, you decide if you are interested in individual, couple, or family therapy. 

 

I invite you to learn how I work with individuals here and how I work with couples here.
