Emotional distress and life's challenges can interfere with our well-being and the ability to experience joy, peace and contentment. Our work together will begin with identifying strengths, challenges and areas where skill building is needed. With the goal of improving symptoms, enhancing relationships and increasing emotional well-being, I will provide strategies for effective communication, help to develop realistic expectations in relationships, improve problem solving skills and increase insight into how thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected.
As a therapist, I bring empathy, warmth, humor and hope. I work from a strength-based perspective, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions, Interpersonal Therapy and Mindfulness strategies.
Individual challenges and the difficulties of life can at times be intense and overwhelming. I welcome the opportunity to help adults and adolescents identify strengths, increase coping skills and live a more meaningful, productive and happy life.
