As a therapist I am privileged to help. I provide a space where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves and deepen emotional connections with others. I enable clients to recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships and to consider new ways of being in the world; to develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and to work through past and present trauma, grief, and losses. Psychotherapy does not have to be painful – it can be a safe, creative, and playful process of strengthening one’s health and well-being.
My clinical approach is interactive and integrates contemporary psychoanalytic theory with other approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practice and Somatic Experiencing, a mind/body-based trauma resolution method that works directly with the nervous system — where all mental health symptoms reside – to resolve symptoms and promote emotional healing.
The area of my clinical expertise include depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, relationships, adoption and fertility issues, substance abuse and recovery.
Please call or email me for a therapy consultation today.
