Everyone functions uniquely, at times experiencing depression, anxiety, insecurities, doubt, and grief. I help people around these issues, as well as introversion, high-functioning Asperger's, bipolar, OCD, and social awkwardness...relationship issues, self-esteem, living with narcissists, identity. We can decide how to deal with life's changes, challenges, and transitions. We will focus compassionately on emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to examine patterns and slowly change them. Our ability to observe and use our will to change are the most powerful tools we possess to bring about changes we desire.
You will find that my approach is kind but also structured. You will often get homework! I have over 25 years of experience working with people through depression, anxiety, life transitions, and grief and loss. Please scroll down to see the complete list of issues and problems we can work through. Couples', family, and group therapy offered.
I love to use poetry and literature, and to work with artists, dancers, singers - and anyone through the medium of creativity...I work with cultural and gender issues and issues that arise around the college-age years, broken relationships and hearts, and spirituality. All types of psychological assessments are available.
