I have been in practice for more than 30 years and feel I have an ability to connect with many types of people. My goal is to listen well and hear what is important to clients and help them design their own goals and guide them toward solutions.
I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with a range of mental health concerns and life stressors, including: anxiety disorders; mood disorders; relationship concerns; academic and job concerns; ADD/ADHD and concerns related to life transitions and adjustments. I am integrative in my approach and draw from various evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, and ACT, depending on the needs and preferences of each client. I try to meet clients where they are in terms of what treatment approaches they are willing to try and what might work best with their personality and readiness for change. I enjoy working with new parents who are adjusting to parenthood. I also have a lot of experience working with college/graduate students.
I believe the therapeutic relationship and creating a safe and respectful space are the most important aspects of therapy. I spend the first session trying to listen closely to a client's real concerns and their overall life goals and what motivates them.
