I am a clinical psychologist working with children, teens, and adults
I have great conviction that psychotherapy can make a profound difference in people’s lives. I feel privileged to be able to work with individuals to better understand themselves so they may have a happier and more fulfilling life. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, empathic environment in which we can together explore the troubles that lead you to seek treatment. I work with the range of concerns that people bring to therapy. These areas include, but are not limited to:
- Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and other mood disorders
- Anxiety/Stress
- Grief/Loss
- Self Esteem
- Trauma, Domestic Violence, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Eating Disorders/Body Image Concerns
- Health Issues
- Life Transitions (including transition to college, divorce, separation, and personal loss)
- School/Academic Concerns
- Relationship and Intimacy Concerns
- Career/Work Issues
- Parenting and Family Issues, including, adoption, post-partum depression, miscarriage, support for new parents, and fertility and prenatal/postpartum concerns.
- Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender Issues
