About
I have a great deal of respect for the unique stories of individual lives, and I strive to create a collaborative and supportive environment where clients can safely learn about themselves, develop new skills, and make real and lasting change. I try to help people not only reduce distress and suffering, but to also cultivate more genuine and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. My primary areas of expertise include: stress management, mindfulness, anxiety and mood concerns, assertive communication, bicultural issues, performance enhancement, LGBTQ concerns, and adjustment, relationship, and identity concerns. My approach to therapy is integrative, and I consider myself a generalist. I combine client-centered and goal-focused therapy strategies, and I utilize varied empirically supported techniques in an intentional manner depending on the goals and readiness for change of each client. While I have a strong foundation in cognitive-behavioral models, my theoretical orientation is heavily influenced by interpersonal theory, mindfulness, evolutionary psychology, and humanistic/existential psychology. I have experience working with individuals with diverse backgrounds and presenting concerns, and I offer psychotherapy to individuals over age 13, couples, and groups.
