Amid the pressures of today's world, it is rare that we allow ourselves moments of stillness in which to reflect upon our lives, relationships, choices, and larger forces at play. These moments are paramount to bringing our lives into alignment with our priorities and ideals. My aim is to encourage the pause necessary for self-reflection. This pause allows you to see yourself more clearly and to articulate your most fundamental questions. Through the clarifying process of self-reflection, change becomes possible.
I work with adults, adolescents, and children in addressing a broad range of issues/concerns. I utilize both short-term modalities of treatment and long-term, insight-oriented forms of inquiry and exploration, depending on what is desired and most beneficial for you.
I treat anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief/loss, sexual abuse and other forms of trauma. I also work with people in exploring identity development, life transitions, and racial/cultural and/or immigrant experience. I have prior experience in both college and community-based settings.
