About

I provide individual counseling to late adolescents and adults, with a special interest in adjustment and periods of transition. My clinical focus is on issues of mood and depression, stress and anxiety, adjustment to life transitions, relationship distress, grief, self-esteem and identity issues, self-harm, and trauma-related issues. I begin with a person-centered approach - believing in each person's potential - and utilize strategies appropriate to each client's unique situation, including CBT, family dynamics, relationship building, relaxation methods, DBT, and narrative therapy.

I have am certified in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and am experienced with its treatment for depression and anxiety. I have also been trained in the Gottman model for relationship building and utilize it to help clients navigate their interpersonal relationships.

I have had the privilege of working with client from a broad spectrum of life experiences. In my practice I see adults and adolescents with a wonderfully challenging variety of situations and issues. I welcome the chance to help you through this chapter of your life!
