I am a licensed psychologist and hold a PhD in clinical psychology, and have 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy in a variety of settings, from large university hospitals and outpatient medical centers, to small private groups and community centers. I have also served as a supervisor and mentor for other therapists, including both psychologists and social workers, for a number of years. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, stress management, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and adjustment to aging. I also specialize in helping people cope better with health and medical challenges. I use a variety of techniques in sessions, including insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral, and mind/body approaches, including mindfulness. Combining these approaches flexibly allows me to individually tailor the therapy to fit with your personal style and the issues you are working on. My manner in sessions is collaborative and nonjudgmental, and involves listening very carefully and empathically, while also providing active feedback to help you make the changes that are important to you. I greatly enjoy helping people take new directions in life, release old pain and burdens, cope better with stresses and challenges, and become more fully themselves. Through the therapeutic partnership, I help guide people to understand things better and see them in a new light, and to take concrete steps to make changes, even if things have felt stuck for a very long time. It would be a privilege to meet with you for an appointment, so you can see if working together feels like the right fit for you.
