Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
My practice is devoted to providing psychotherapy for older adolescents and adults from diverse walks of life. I treat clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, loss, grief, and other sources of seemingly unmanageable distress. I also help clients navigate specific life transitions -- for example, to a new school, job, relationship, or parenthood. Finally, I welcome clients who are experiencing relatively diffuse, general discontent and searching for greater fulfillment with respect to their health, relationships, education, job career, or creative endeavors. As a therapist with broad and intensive training, I employ an integrative approach, tailored to the individual. I keep a close eye on emerging theory and treatment research. I strive to build therapeutic relationships characterized by warmth, openness, thoughtfulness, firmness, direct communication, teaching, learning, and collaboration. What can you expect from therapy? The vast majority of my clients experience less distress in their lives and are strengthened by an expanded repertoire of personally relevant life skills. Many of my clients also become more reflective, self-trusting, insightful, intentional, and successful in meeting broader life goals.
