Welcome
My dedication to this field comes from my interest in working with people and being inspired by their ability to change and persevere when motivated and engaged to do so. A large part of my work is helping clients put words to feelings they have, but don’t know how to express. This comes with careful listening and exploring with the client.
I work with a variety of techniques, including CBT, Narrative therapy, Positive psychology, and Motivational Interviewing. With couples, I work on active communication skills, understanding each other’s triggers, and learning your partner’s “love language”. The main goal for me is to provide an environment where my clients feel comfortable to speak openly about what is on their minds. I feel privileged to assist my clients on this journey.
Establishing a safe and empathic connection is the first step toward meaningful change.
Services
Individual Psychotherapy
I treat adults and older adolescents with life stressors and challenges, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, social discomfort, parenting issues, goal stagnation, and personality conflicts. I work with a variety of techniques, including CBT, narrative therapy, positive psychology and motivational interviewing.
Sessions are 45 minutes.
Virtual Psychotherapy
The pandemic has taught me that teletherapy can be both effective and convenient for my clients. The ability to continue using this mode has made therapy more accessible to a wider range of people who otherwise may not have the flexibility to come to an office each week. Individual and couples therapy are provided on a HIPAA secure platform.
Sessions are 45 minutes
Couples Counseling
I specialize in working with couples and have been trained extensively in Imago therapy and Gottman active communication skills. I encourage each couple to make a three-month commitment to coming once a week for the best results. Couples learn to communicate and connect with each other more effectively.
Sessions are 50 minutes
Family Addiction Consult
I offer consults for families and individuals struggling with addiction. I have extensive experience working in outpatient programs for substance abuse and began the first family program at the Community Organization for Parents and Youth. I help families and individuals assess their relationship with substances and develop a plan to address it.
Consults are 60 minutes
