I create a respectful, safe, caring, brave, and judgement-free space for my clients through the use of warmth, kindness, empathy, and genuineness. I appreciate and welcome raw, unfiltered honesty from my clients because our problem areas are best addressed with authenticity. There are many places in this world where we feel like we must behave a certain way in order to fit in. I don't want you to feel that way with me. I want you to feel completely comfortable revealing your true self, unmasked, just as you are. I'm here to offer secular, compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA2+ affirming therapy to fellow humans.

It takes courage to recognize there is a problem and ask for help; I am already proud of you for taking that first step and being vulnerable in it. It is normal to have issues and I would love to be able to help you with those. As a social worker, I strive to help the people who come to me for therapeutic services acknowledge and recognize their concerns, identify their emotions, and find their voice and verbalize their thoughts and feelings. So often people feel unimportant and unheard in their own lives and I work alongside my clients to help them gain control over the one thing they can- themselves.

I have maintained a private counseling practice for over 30 years. I work with individual, relationship and family issues. Cognitive behavioral strategies are utilized for skills training such as anger management, stress reduction, communication skills, and emotional regulation. Couples counseling and stepfamilies are areas of special interest. Theoretical perspectives in these areas include interpersonal relations concepts such as object relations theory and relational psychodynamics. Individual counseling focusing on depression, mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and personality concerns tend to be approached from a psychodynamic psychotherapy perspective.

Bipolar Disorder Therapists

What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.

What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?

Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.

What kinds of problems does therapy help with?

Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.

What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?

Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
