Introduction
I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Difficulties and Trauma. I offer a range of services including brief, time-limited therapy, coaching or consultation, usually focused on a set of discrete goals. For those trying to recover from painful life experiences, I offer a longer, more relationally- based treatment plan. I believe therapy should be a place of trust, compassion, and warmth. Individuals should expect to feel supported and encouraged from our sessions. Each individual I work with presents with a unique life experience. My job is to craft a personalized conversation to aid them in finding a better way to approach life’s challenges— whether internal or external.
