About
My goal as therapist is to assist adult clients in connecting current stressors to past events. Therapy focuses on providing support-and sometimes challenge-as clients cope with experiences from daily stress to emotional challenges (anxiety, depression) to significant life events (death, divorce) in a safe, compassionate therapeutic relationship. I work with clients to identify the source, impact on current functioning and well-being, and develop insight- and behaviorally-based strategies for healthy sustainable coping. We work towards both managing symptoms and addressing the source, whether a single life event or an unfulfilling style of coping developed over several years across multiple relationships. Over the years, I have worked extensively with clients from a broad range of backgrounds, many of whom identify as members of marginalized groups. Coping with the emotional impact of experiences that sometimes accompany a particular identity can weigh on one over time. Recognizing the impact of these various identities when added to stress, anxiety, depression, etc., I approach therapy with a culturally-focused perspective, with the hope of working towards solutions that are realistic and able to be integrated into the individual's "real life". A 15-minute initial consultation is available at no cost.
