I utilize an integrative approach that draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relational, and trauma-informed techniques to improve clients' mood, reduce their distress, and promote their overall wellbeing. Below are the primary areas in which I work, with dedicated pages for the topics I focus on most.
Areas of Focus
Anxiety and Trauma
Treatment for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder, as well as traumatic experiences, using cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed approaches for managing both current symptoms and the patterns that maintain them.
Depression and Bipolar Disorder
Evidence-based therapy for mood disorders across the spectrum, from situational depression to major depressive disorder and bipolar I and bipolar II disorders. Care is coordinated with prescribing psychiatrists when medication is part of treatment.
Stress and Life Transitions
Support for significant life transitions, including divorce, medical illnesses, relational and familial conflict, caregiving, and other overwhelming challenges.
Grief and Loss
Support through bereavement, divorce, estrangement, miscarriage, loss of health, and major life transitions. Space to grieve fully and to work through what feels stuck, including complicated grief that has remained intense long after the loss.
Loss of a Pet
Compassionate therapy for adults grieving the death of a companion animal, including support around end-of-life decisions, guilt, sadness, and the disenfranchised nature of pet grief.
Additional Areas of Focus
Beyond the specialties above, I also work with clients on:
- Stress management
- Coping skills
- Life transitions
- Relational and communication difficulties
- Social skills
- Substance abuse
- Coping with medical illness, including terminal illness
- Managing behavioral issues
