I only accept AETNA at this time. I provide psychotherapy for adolescents, college students, and adults; and I have over 20 years of experience working in clinical & academic settings. I address the following concerns: anxiety, depression, relationships, PTSD/trauma, education/career, grief/loss, marriage/family, separation/divorce, parenting, adoption/fertility, and disabilities. I presented research at the American Psychological Association in Boston, and I keep abreast of changes in the field. As a professor, I taught a myriad of graduate courses including psychotherapy, psychological testing, and ethics.
I am warm, accepting, and non-judgmental. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) approach and focus on reducing stress and strengthening relationships. I listen carefully and will help you think through your situation (past, current, future) objectively. I will help you clarify and prioritize goals, brainstorm options, and develop a realistic plan of action.
People need people, and you are not alone. Fear of the unknown is universal, and people are braver and stronger than they realize. We all encounter challenging times in our lives when we feel unsure about which path to take. I will assist you in becoming comfortable with any changes you are experiencing or contemplating.
