Therapist Overview
My approach to therapy emphasizes working together to deepen your understanding of yourself and the problems you are struggling with. My goal is to create a supportive therapeutic relationship to help you navigate difficult transitions, heal from painful experiences, and explore problematic behaviors and patterns. I help clients with a broad range of mental health and relationship issues. I specialize in helping mothers and fathers with the challenges of parenthood, including mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I also work extensively with young adults including undergraduate and graduate students. I integrate several treatment modalities and maintain a flexible approach depending on your needs and goals for therapy. I use a predominately psychodynamic framework, which emphasizes exploring the underlying causes of symptoms. I also draw upon cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies to help reduce distress and difficulties with functioning. I am a culturally-sensitive therapist who welcomes individuals of diverse cultures, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. I am sensitive to the impact of personal, cultural, and institutional trauma throughout the lifespan. I work individually with older adolescents and adults (age 18+).
