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.

We first review your presenting issues and history, then identify specific goals to address. If you are suffering from negative thoughts about yourself, a mindful approach of observing thoughts without attachment can be helpful. We also explore how and when these thoughts developed, the root causes of presenting issues. You can then begin to let go of the past and live more fully in the present.

I use a combination of treatment modalities depending on the needs of my clients. We will first review your presenting issues and history, then identify specific goals to address in treatment. From there we will move into discussions that might include specific strategies found in CBT or DBT, learn about mindfulness or other techniques to help manage symptoms while we address underlying issues.
