Helping clients get back to feeling more in control of their emotions, their relationships or whatever therapy goals they may have is a partnership that I commit to wholeheartedly no matter the length of time I see them. I have previously worked in short term psychiatric inpatient hospitals, emergency rooms and on crisis teams so I have learned extensively on how to forge quick connections with people and begin building trust in ways that help my clients feel both at ease and safe. I have utilized a wide variety of treatment modalities in the field while working with so many populations but I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, Brief Dynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative.
Additional areas of focus: Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders , Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy and childbirth, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues
