Beginning therapy can be a challenge, and finding a therapist who is the right fit for you may be an additional challenge. As a Psychotherapist, I specialize in management of Trauma/PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions and Relationship Issues. I believe that a variety of treatment approaches are needed to best serve each client. I take an eclectic approach, and practice psychotherapy informed primarily by concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychoanalysis. My role is to be both a "coach" and supporter.
I believe that the best therapy outcomes result from building a strong connection, setting tangible goals, and working together as a collaborative team. Your treatment plan will be personalized based upon your needs. I will help you to develop healthy coping skills, and increase insight and self-awareness to foster healing and post-traumatic growth.
Feel free to reach out if you are looking for a Professional Psychotherapist who will support, guide, and challenge you. Together, we will create a plan to foster forward movement from the stressors and challenges you may be facing.
