I meet every day with people who are overcoming worry, depression, dissatisfaction and conflict to find greater joy, and fulfillment in their life. My specialties include working with depression/anxiety, OCD/ADD, personality disorders, and addiction. I also have expertise in working with the LGBTQQI community. My approach to psychotherapy is practical and interactive, providing the support and insight to help you resolve current issues and historical patterns. Through empathy and direct communication, I assist you in finding the solutions to life's adversities, challenges, and mental health.
My practice combines traditional with alternative and contemporary approaches, drawing from multiple styles, techniques, and perspectives to integrate what will be the most comprehensive approach for your needs. The focus of my interactive approach is to help you, or a couple, build upon strengths in order to achieve life goals.
Together we can foster personal development and liberation from unsatisfying or painful patterns of living. We pay attention to the interactions of personal/interpersonal experience, of past/present, of body/mind, of fantasy/reality, and this in-depth exploration can set in motion a process of personal transformation.
