I’ve worked with adolescents, young adults, and adults from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds and in a variety of settings. I see many people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, and I specialize in life transitions and adjustment, including experiences such as adjusting to a new job, beginning college, becoming a new parent or transitioning to more than one child in the family, and family structural changes like separation & divorce. I also specialize in both academic research and clinical work on the role of fathers in the family and issues that fathers face.
I tailor my approach to each individual’s unique circumstances and needs. I practice using evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, ACT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I also like to draw on my clients’ strengths as well as use humor when appropriate in our sessions.
I want to create a safe, open, and honest space for my clients to begin exploring and making progress on their issues and goals. It’s my hope that you feel comfortable in our sessions quickly so that we can work together to understand and handle your distress, stress, and make positive improvements in your life.
