Specialties

I help people adjust to challenging life transitions, improve communication in their personal relationships, and regain a sense of balance within themselves. Utilizing a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Strength-Based, Person-Centered and Solution-Focused therapies, I guide my clients as they make progress in the areas they want to improve. Because each individual is unique, I take great care in getting to know them and the styles they feel most comfortable with.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing change in their lives, whether it's a woman adjusting to motherhood, mid-life or being newly single; a couple going through a rough patch in their relationship; or a young adult trying to juggle their personal life with a career and navigating new responsibilities. Many times, these issues can show up as Adjustment Disorders, Depression, or Anxiety. Therapy can help equip you with the skills to work through these issues and more.

Treatment Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps the client recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and explore the ways that emotions and thoughts can affect actions. Many experts consider CBT to be the “gold standard” of psychotherapy.

  • Interpersonal Therapy

    Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving interpersonal functioning. It addresses current problems and relationships with the goal of improving communication, rather than focusing on childhood or developmental issues.

  • Strength-Based Therapy

    Strength-Based Therapy involves the Therapist tuning in to identify the strengths and resources the client might already possess—especially those they tend to downplay or overlook altogether. With this information, the Therapist assists the client in recognizing their own resilience, thereby improving confidence in their ability to achieve the outcomes that serve them best.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

    Solution-Focused Therapy prioritizes the client’s present and immediate circumstances, rather than past experiences. By using a goal-oriented approach, the Therapist encourages the client to develop a vision of the near future and offers support as they identify the skills, resources, and abilities needed to achieve that vision successfully.

  • Person-Centered Therapy

    Person-Centered Therapy is a non-directive technique that allows the client to lead the direction of the therapy session, according to their concerns. The Therapist acts mainly as a sounding board and offers feedback, while serving as a source of support for the client.

  • Couples Counseling

    In Couples Counseling, the Therapist evaluates the couple's personal and relationship story as it is narrated, facilitating both de-escalation of conflict and the development of practical solutions. The Therapist provides the participants with tools to constructively express their needs, clarify and redefine their relationship with each other.
