Struggling with depression or anxiety? Find yourself avoiding things rather than dealing with them? Find yourself beating yourself up on a regular basis? We can work on that. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults with depression and anxiety (mood disorders - major depression & bipolar and anxiety disorders - panic disorder, generalized anxiety, OCD, phobias, etc.). I tend to take a Here & Now approach, focusing on not just talking, but taking action to make changes. I'm only doing teletherapy currently.
I use cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy; I don't want to just talk about about problems, I want to get people up and active and doing something to make changes in their lives. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy as a primary method of treatment - it works quickly and tends to keep folks doing better in the long-run, as well.
I've been working in behavioral health for a long time, in hospitals, ICUs, partial hospital & intensive outpatient programs , and in outpatient offices - there isn't much I haven't seen, and I have lots of experience with a broad range of problems. I believe in doing work that gets folks better, faster, and keeps folks doing better for longer.

I've worked with all ages and with many different types of problems, but for the last couple of decades, I've worked with adults with mood and anxiety disorders, and since COVID, by teletherapy. I tend to be more on the active and directive side of therapy, and I do ask people to do homework and make some behavioral changes as part of treatment.
