Morning/midday availability. Can best reply to emaiI. I integrate a variety of approaches in my work, with a value on relationship and finding creative ways to make treatment individual. I practiced at Bowdoin College for students struggling with identity exploration, anxiety, depression and relationships. I spent 3 years working in residential/day treatment with adolescents (and their families) who have endured complex trauma, anxiety and mood disorders, and developmental disabilities. Much of my experience is with children, adolescents and young adults, though I am open to working with all ages and cater treatment to each client.

During therapy, we can gain insight about where symptoms originated, while also working to cope with and mitigate distressing feelings in the present.

Sometimes it helps to shift our perspective, even slightly. What we have been doing is comfortable, but not necessarily effective. People are full of life and strength and vigor; and they are the primary architects for their happiness. Things that happen to us that aren't our fault, and we still have to resolve them anyway. Counseling can help make the perspective shift, and uncover the life, strength and vigor in all of us. I exclusively provide comprehensive DBT or DBT Complex Trauma models.
