How I Can Help You

In my experience, most mental health challenges are complex and can benefit from therapy, use of recommended skills between session, and personal focus on physical health. Each therapeutic relationship begins with an assessment and treatment planning, in which I will gather information. We will then work together to establish goals, and determine which type of therapy will be most helpful based on your symptoms and needs. I use the following strategies with positive outcomes: Psychodynamic therapy is a long-term strategy that acknowledges the complex reasons and causes for emotional suffering, and examines subconscious motivations for our behavior and feelings. Research shows long-term alleviation of symptoms with this therapy. EMDR: A structured evidence-based technique that uses eye-movements and talk therapy to alleviate PTSD symptoms. CBT/DBT: Structured step-by-step therapies that reduce anxious negative thoughts and emotional dysregulation.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I may be a good fit for you if: you are dealing with trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, or anger challenges; are in a relationship with someone suffering from mental health or personality disorders; are seeking long-term therapy to address complex dynamic challenges and reach a point of self-actualization; want to try EMDR treatment; are a couple seeking help in improving communication and addressing resentment within the relationship; or are a guardian of a child with mild to moderate mental health or behavioral challenges. I may not be a good fit for you if (or can not provide the adequate level of care if): you are seeking a magic bullet or brief counseling to fix or solve a complex issue; are trying to treat ADHD for the first time; want treatment for a personality disorder; want a therapist to tell you what to do (I'm happy to provide psychodeducation, but want you to feel empowered to make your own decisions); or want treatment for a child with severe behavioral challenges.
