While some people come to therapy to get help with whatever is happening in the here and now, others find it useful to understand how one's past informs one's present. My work is highly interactive and I draw from various treatment modalities based on your needs, including psychodynamic, attachment-based, relational, writing therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. In addition to specializing in depression, anxiety, and relationship conflict, I have experience working with the following issues and areas:
Social Anxiety Low Self-Esteem Shame
Career Counseling Codependency
Divorce Family Conflict
Loss and Grief Infidelity Life Transitions
Substance Abuse Relapse Prevention Trauma
PTSD Fear of Intimacy Anger Management
Dating Sexual Abuse Peer Relationships
