You are as unique as your fingerprint. I am a therapist that appreciates that and customizes treatment to suit your needs. I listen deeply, encourage, and advise within my scope of practice. You will benefit from: relaxation training, coping strategies for fear and depression, and insights on relationships. Above all, I promote your getting to know yourself. If your work or your faith or the arts is important to you, all strengths can be utilized in therapy. I can work with the rest of your health care team.Healing can be augmented by writing, reading, and communing in nature. If you are creatively blocked, I'm here.
I am a therapist with a broad perspective on the world, including multicultural sensitivity. My parents were immigrants after World War II's devastation in Europe. I have a historical and sociological perspective while using behavioral treatments, positive psychology, and more. My style is warm and encouraging, not distant. I have a systems perspective.
Hope? I believe you can rekindle it in time, despite struggles. Confidence? You can feel it again. Feeling helpless? You deserve an advocate, two advocates (both of us)! Cost should not stop you. Let's negotiate fees so that you can put your mental health, well being, even thriving on the front burner. Contact me: I'm here to help.
