If the old coping strategies have stopped working, or worse, are becoming self-destructive, reaching out for help can be a daunting but ultimately liberating step toward growth and healing. My communication style is direct, but equally warm, empathic, and relatable. I have been practicing for 25 years and am well trained to work with both youth & adults in both short-term behavioral skills-based treatment models as well as longer-term supportive psychotherapy. I have worked in both the private and non profit sectors as a clinician, clinical supervisor of intern therapists, Family Program Director, and Clinical Consultant.
I have a special interest in life transitions (leaving college and entering the workforce, life after a divorce, life after a major loss or break up, life after leaving a treatment center program, etc), anxiety and depressive disorders, and assertive communication/healthy boundaries in family systems. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
As of Jan 2024 I am forming a weekly In Person Young Adult Process Group. The group will bring a cohort of similarly aged persons (ages 18-30) together in a therapeutic space to explore issues such as (but not limited to) relationships/dating concerns, parental relationships, setting healthy boundaries with others, social anxiety & life transitions.
