INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

I believe that we are all seeking wholeness. Yet, internal conflicts can arise which cause crisis, sometimes immobilizing us in confusion, fear, anxiety or depression, and impairing our ability feel wholly well and to form and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. Viewed another way, these conflicts and challenges are our teachers. Drawing on my training and experience in a variety of modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral interventions, family systems theory, interpersonal neurobiology, sensorimotor/somatic therapies, and mindfulness interventions, I use a strengths-based approach, with a direct and nurturing style, to address each client's needs.

I offer individual therapy with a particular focus on interpersonal relationship issues. I specialize in the resolution of childhood physical, sexual and emotional abuse, childhood and family trauma, grief and loss, identity development (in particular, adolescent identity development, gender identity development, cultural identity development, and sexual orientation identity development), mood disorders including depression and anxiety, parent and adolescent struggles, and living with a mentally ill family member. I help individuals develop deeper awareness of their patterns of behavior, emotions and thought and how these may be supporting or impeding your growth and personal development. Together with you, I can then help you set goals and design a plan of action for the resolution of internal conflicts which will aid in the development of healthy relationships - with others as well as with yourself.
