About

My approach to therapy lies largely within the framework of Coherence Therapy - a newer approach to treatment that is different from many others. Instead of viewing something as "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change it, the focus is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms on a deep emotional level. Sometimes the symptoms we experience lead to us feeling "stuck." A deep understanding of why someone feels stuck entails addressing the cause of a problem to eliminate it at its roots rather than simply maintaining management of the symptom. I strongly believe that this approach leads to genuinely meaningful and lasting change.

I have extensive experience helping people feel "unstuck" amidst a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, trauma, family and relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem, and interpersonal communication. A niche-area of growing expertise is with clients who have concerns related to pornography use (topic of my dissertation).

Please email or call if interested in seeking therapy services. I am more than happy to have a free 15-minute consultation by phone to discuss concerns you may want to address in therapy and how I would approach them. I would want to make sure that you and I both feel my expertise would be a good fit for your needs. I am also now accepting supervisees.
