I entered clinical social work later in life and I bring a mature understanding to working through psychological distress with my patients. Issues that may be addressed in treatment include trauma in childhood or as an adult, anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, relationship issues, inadequate self esteem and self harming behaviors. The goal of treatment is greater self awareness allowing emotional responses to be better understood and worked through, leading to a greater ability to meet life's challenges and live life more fully.
My approach to treatment emphasizes individual patterns of relating to others and the conscious and unconscious defenses developed throughout life that may contribute to current emotional distress. Psychoanalysis is an option for those seeking in depth treatment for long standing issues.
It takes courage to seek help for mental heath challenges. If you are reaching out count that as one of your strengths. I will treat you as an individual and we will work together to develop the best treatment plan for you.

My primary modes of therapy are psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. All of your experiences throughout your life helped form your current ways of perceiving and coping with life. Working together to gain insight into the links between thoughts and feelings, both past and present, can help you to free yourself from feeling stuck in patterns that cause you distress.
