I specialize in a depth-oriented approach to psychotherapy that addresses the root cause of the problem thereby promoting significant changes in your feelings about yourself, your life, and your relationships. My style is direct, engaging, and to the point, which allows for understanding and change to proceed relatively quickly. Insights are offered with warmth, humor, and compassion. Sessions are active, deep, and keenly attuned to your thoughts, feelings and expectations.
As a Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I have extensive training and expertise to treat a wide range of issues and disorders. My specialties involve major life transitions and identity crises including: post-partum depression/adjustment, relationship struggles, loss and grief, and addiction recovery.
Theraputic fit is vital for good work to proceed. I am happy to speak with you to see if I am the appropriate therapist to help you reach your goals. Please call or email to set up a consultation.
