About

I am a seasoned, dedicated individual and couples therapist with over 15 years of experience treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and grieving, relationship issues and work challenges. I will work collaboratively with you to gently and compassionately explore the recurring patterns in behavior and relating that cause you pain and stop you from getting what you want personally and professionally. We'll look to the past but spend most of our time in the present learning more effective ways to make decisions, take action and communicate with the important people in your life.

I specialize in anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorders, OCD, and PTSD). Through our work, you will understand and master your anxiety's sources, feeling freer and more capable in situations that cause you fear or discomfort. I also specialize in helping adults with ADD, and parenting issues.

My experiences living, studying and working in foreign countries have given me a unique perspective and special insight into the challenges of operating cross-culturally. As a result, I work very effectively with expatriates, immigrants (recently and not so recently arrived), and their children. I speak Mandarin Chinese and Swedish.
