These are indeed challenging times, as has been noted throughout history. You might be finding the news of our shared world overhwelming and/or you have more personal stressors to get through. It is not uncommon for symptoms of depression, anxiety, unhealthy behaviors or trauma issues to get triggered and/or become worse when our internal resources become drained. Perhaps you have not had a chance to look inward and learn about yourself in a way that can help you thrive. Whether you are new to therapy or have grown from previous work, feel free to call/email to see if we can find a path forward for you.
As a clinician with 30+ years of experience in various settings including hospital programs, cardiac rehab, group, eating disorder and primary care practices, I can bring a depth of understanding and empathy to my work with you. I am trained in psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness. I use a collaborative approach with your identified goals as a guide.
I hope to develop a safe and trusting environment so you can look closely and honestly at yourself. I encourage non-judgmental awareness, self-compassion, curiosty and humor as you explore your internal experiences/behaviors to enable healthy growth. Together we determine a course of treatment to best suit your journey.
