Are you seeking resilience in uncertain times? My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic training with CBT, finding practical solutions to problems. This means that you and I will work together to find both the "why" of what you bring to therapy (childhood development, history, and social context) and the "what" (how to change what you want to change). I tend to work with high achievers who feel there is something lacking in their personal lives and relationships. I work with adults, as well as adolescents in high school or college/graduate school. I see both individuals and couples who want to make meaningful changes.
