I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and older adults. I am comfortable working with clients who have a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, career challenges, post traumatic stress disorder, OCD and eating disorders.
I consider my therapeutic technique to be eclectic which includes various modalities including: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution focused therapy and mindfulness. I tailor my treatment methods to each unique individual. The relationship between the client and therapist is the greatest indicator of success in a therapeutic relationship. Therefore, I bring my true, authentic, caring and empathetic self to every encounter.
I'm glad you're here and I look forward to working with you!
