I provide a compassionate presence while building your capacity to handle whatever challenge is in front of you. I am here to walk alongside you and find the approach that suits you best.
A big part of what I bring to the table as a clinician is my life experience. I decided to become a therapist, mid-life, after weathering a difficult crisis and learning how to work through it. I believe post-traumatic growth is possible, and I am here to support you in that process.
Issues I treat:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- ADHD
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions
- Relationship Issues
- Stress
My approach
I believe in listening first as a counselor. It’s important to understand the person and the context from which they come to find solutions and interventions that work. I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their concerns and follow-up on their progress.
I support my clients in developing perspective and insight, changing unhelpful patterns, and finding tools and strategies to cope.
I work with adolescents and adults ages 19 and up dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, chronic pain, life transitions, and relationship issues. I use cognitive behavioral, existential, and mindfulness-based interventions. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) to individuals seeking this specialized treatment.
It can be hard to take the first step. I provide a safe, caring and non-judgmental space to meet your unique needs. Together we can find the path that works best for you.
