My specialties include the treatment of depression, anxiety, destructive and self-defeating behaviors, and the many unique forms of inner anguish that defy categorization. Within my scope, as well, are the compelling problems generated by situations that were once somehow manageable for the client but have suddenly become overwhelming - a failing relationship, an escalating parenting or school problem, increasing reliance on substances, and others. I have much experience, as well, treating the range of symptoms that commonly accompany significant life changes or transitions such as illness,personal losses, post partum depression, and the impact of aging.
Critical to my approach is an attunement to the many unique forms of inner anguish that can elude the practitioner and escape even the client's identification. When hidden suffering is uncovered in the course of the therapeutic process, it can finally be addressed and managed.
It is my conviction that the inherent dignity of every client must be honored at all times. In a warm,accepting environment, I help my clients identify their problems, draw upon their inner strengths,and restore the sense of purpose and direction that has eluded them for so long.
