At Lifespan, I treat anxiety, depression, addiction and co-occurring disorders, relationship problems, stress-related symptoms, women's health issues, and adolescence issues. In session we take the time to let your soul catch up with you—so you can share what's on your mind, organize your thoughts, and listen to yourself. This is a gift you give yourself, stepping out of the demanding pace of our culture to turn inward. The ultimate goal is to access your “inner therapist” so that you can rely upon yourself and your own strengths. Change is possible!
I offer psychodynamic and cognitive therapy, art therapy, sand tray, guided meditation, and psychoeducation. I am also certified in mindfulness. It is helpful to look at all areas of your self and your life: your relationships, your psyche, and your physical and spiritual health. The office also offers diagnostic evaluations.
I am available to meet with you weekdays, early evenings, and Saturdays. Most major insurance plans accepted. Sessions are confidential and diversity is honored. You may want to schedule an initial consultation to see how we can work together; sessions are individualized to meet your specific needs and goals.
