Whether you're really hurting or simply seeking personal growth, I'm happy to help. How I practice is mainly cognitive-behavioral, but I also draw from nonviolent communication, feminist therapy, and anti-racist multicultural counseling. I work with people who have a fairly broad range of concerns (see list to the right). I work with adults and older teens; individuals, couples, and groups. I especially enjoy helping clients with a stigmatized identity overcome both internalized and external oppression. I welcome transgender and other queer folk; Muslims, immigrants, and racial and ethnic "minority" members; and activists for social and environmental justice.
I take an active role and use a variety of techniques, trying to find what will work best for you. Some of the specific techniques I use include active listening, validation and normalization, cognitive restructuring/reappraisal, behavioral activation, systematic desensitization, communication skills development, psychoeducation, bibliotherapy, values clarification, career exploration, relaxation, meditation, and guided visualization.
When you call, you'll reach my office manager, George Dillmann. If you have further questions I'll be happy to speak with you as well. Please note that I am only able to offer remote sessions. For these, I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant version of Zoom.
