PSYCHOTHERAPYThrough a warm but focused conversational style, I help individuals, couples and families with symptom relief and enhancement of psychological skillfulness.
I treat most DSM-V mental illness diagnoses (e.g. social anxiety) and sources of distress common to life phases (e.g. adolescence) and major transitions/adjustments (e.g. loss of a loved one). I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults with a perspective informed by contemporary psychological theory, research-based treatment protocols, clinical wisdom, and over a decade of dedicated professional experience. |
Treatment Style
Whether your core concerns are isolated and easy-to-diagnose (e.g. panic attacks) or more abstract and complicated (e.g. patterned interpersonal conflict), I offer effective short-term and long-term treatment plans designed to reduce stress and symptoms, clarify goals, and strengthen vulnerabilities.
My treatment approach involves a solutions-oriented focus on present-day distress. I integrate multiple schools of psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive-behavioral, relational, systems-based) to produce a balanced blend of insight-generating exploratory techniques, coping and social-emotional skills-building, and creative problem-solving frameworks. My inquires and interventions are supported by empirically validated ideas, and administered with warmth and gentle care.
On a session-by-session basis, I strive to concretely track goals, insights, and progress, and provide a consistent measure of clarity and relief through the following curative mechanisms:
The realistically hopeful end result of psychotherapy is a healthier and happier version of self. With hard work, progress can be significant, so make an appointment today!
