I work therapeutically with adults to help them find more effective ways of navigating life’s challenges. Overall, my therapeutic work reflects a combination of how our past relational experiences influence current functioning, with a focus on developing more adaptive, ways of coping and being. Together, we seek to understand the “whys” of your emotional distress and effective ways of resolving those concerns. Issues I often address with people include depression, anxiety, perfectionism, overachievement, control, workaholism; singlehood/couplehood; life transitions (new job/job loss, move, engagement, divorce/breakup, etc.); personal identity, existential questions (“Who am I? Why am I here?”). I also work with couples who are wanting to develop more effective ways of relating to one another. I utilize evidenced-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based approaches, and dialectical behavioral focused techniques to meet the individual needs of my clients. I take a collaborative approach in my work with clients to develop a treatment plan that will position clients to achieve their therapeutic goals.
