About
I view psychotherapy as an opportunity for personal growth and greater self-understanding. While it is important to address specific issues in the here and now, often the process can also lead to broader gains in self-awareness and life satisfaction. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals. I will work with you to address your concerns, overcome obstacles and find greater personal satisfaction.
I enjoy helping adults of diverse ages, backgrounds and lifestyles to navigate their way through life's difficulties and transitions, including issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, coping skills, identity and personal development, aging, loss, and relationship and family issues.
I received my PhD from University of Chicago, and have worked in hospitals, mental health centers, university counseling, crisis intervention and private practice. My approach is integrative, combining psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and family systems perspectives with sensitivity to diversity and culture, and appreciation for each person's unique context, worldview and life experience.
