I treat adults and adolescents, and conduct individual,couple, and family therapy.
I see my work with people as helping them to live happier and more
fulfilling lives. Because we are all different, my services are highly individualized and I do not have a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
I take a collaborative approach to working with you. Together, we will first understand your issues and then find better ways of coping, by learning and practicing skills that will allow you to make long-term changes in your life.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults with general problems of living, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sexual orientation and identity problems, stress, trauma, conflicts with others, parenting, divorce, inhibitions, and personality difficulties.
If you are having trouble with your work life, relationships, depression, or anxiety, therapy is likely to be very helpful. I'll help you sort out why you are having difficulty, and what's getting in the way. Once we have a clear sense of the obstacles that stand in your way, we'll be more able to find solutions.

Trained as a generalist, I work with adults from a variety of backgrounds with a variety of presenting concerns.
My therapeutic approach is supportive, collaborative, and integrative. I work to tailor treatment approaches to the needs of my clients and to collaborate on identifying goals. My goal is to help clients gain insight, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills. I incorporate techniques used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and mindfulness. My clients have expressed an appreciation for my warm and accepting style. As Carl Rogers once said: "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.".

I can help with recovery from painful childhood experiences & traumas. I can help you to better understand the unconscious patterns of thinking and feeling that create emotional pain and obstruct your efforts to achieve your life goals. My work addresses issues faced by adolescents, young adults, and adults including educational/career achievement, relationship satisfaction, and identity/self-esteem issues. Cultural/racial identity and oppressive/abusive social forces including racism and misogyny are important factors in my work.

I provide psychotherapy services for children, adolescents and adults to address mood problems, anxiety, learning difficulties impacting academic or work progress, self-esteem issues, concerns in personal/work relationships as well as to gain self-understanding.
In life, there are times when we need to face challenging situations and make changes, but we may need help to think things through. I work from the perspective that all of us can bring certain strengths to bear and that we can benefit from self-understanding in order to use our strengths to the best of our abilities. Through a collaborative framework, I help people cope with the pressures of everyday life, transitions that are challenging and/or stressful as well as longstanding concerns such as learning difficulties, anxieties, mood problems, interpersonal concerns, and life transitions.
