What I Treat

Relationships + Parenting

Relationships with partners, children or other family members are complicated. While they bring us joy, they also often bring conflict, especially when financial stress or a child’s behavioral problems are added to the mix. I have extensive experience working with clients in difficult family situations, helping them understand their relationships better and teaching them coping skills to bring families closer together. In treatment we will examine your family’s ability to express thoughts and emotions in a productive manner and explore family roles and behavior patterns to identify issues that contribute to conflict – and ways to work through these issues.

Anxiety + Depression

Anxiety, depression, mood swings and other feelings are common in many people living in metropolitan areas. What’s not common is each individual’s ability to manage anxiety or depression so it doesn’t prevent them from living a satisfying and generally happy existence. If you feel overwhelmed, unsure of yourself, or confused about how to move forward, psychotherapy is a wonderful tool that provides a safe space for you to focus on whatever is bothering you. In therapy, you will become self-aware and able to change the negatives stories you tell yourself into a positive narrative that will enable you to live an authentic life, with genuine connections to yourself and the world around you.

Trauma + Grief

If you have experienced deep emotional pain, whether from a single incident or something that occurred many times, you may find that your mental, behavioral, emotional, and physical well-being have been diminished. My extensive experience working with people living with the effects of trauma and loss – and my research into the neurology of PTSD – give me a unique vantage point from which I can help clients overcome their sense of isolation, disconnection, anxiety and despair. There are a number of therapeutic strategies for healing the psyche after trauma, and I can help you find the one that works best for you.
