If you find yourself experiencing problems that defy simple solutions, therapy can provide the caring, confidential conversation that your situation requires. Whether you seek treatment to alleviate anxiety or depression, to improve your experience of close relationships, or to emerge from a rut in your professional life, therapy can assist you in recognizing the connections between your personal history and your present problems—and in so doing, to stop dysfunctional patterns and increase your openness to new experiences. Where indicated or requested, I also provide psychological testing and assessment.
As a board-certified clinical psychologist, my approach to treatment is informed by research in attachment, family dynamics, and personal growth. While mindful of established and developing trends in psychological science, I tend to approach therapy in a manner that prioritizes the particularity and nuance of your personality and personal history.
I welcome adult and older adolescent clients from all backgrounds, as well as couples seeking to negotiate conflicts and crises in their relationships. Areas of concern in which I may be helpful include phase of life transitions, anxiety, mood disorders, grief and loss, a desire for deeper relationships, and the lingering impact of past trauma.
