MY SPECIALTIES

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

I work with patients on a weekly or biweekly basis to address individual symptoms, relational patterns, original experiences with parents or caregivers, and traumatic events that shape present daily experiences. I use a trauma-informed psychodynamic lens that incorporates CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness-based techniques

MOOD & ANXIETY DISORDERS

Mood and anxiety symptoms are the most common presenting concerns that I treat. The course of treatment for disorders with this symptom profile usually takes 4-6 months, though symptom reduction usually starts within the first month. After acute symptoms have subsided, we would continue to work together on relapse-prevention for an additional 4-6 months.

COUPLES THERAPY

I work with couples using the Gottman Method and emotion-focused couples therapy to address "stuck" feelings, escalating cycles of conflict, emotional and sexual incompatibilities, and difficulty being vulnerable together. I specialize in issues of non-monogamy and queer relationships.

CAREER AND LIFE TRANSITIONS

I conducted my doctoral research on individuals going through career transition, and have specialized in offering support and tangible tools to help with watershed moments in people's professional lives. I can help you identify your most essential values and sources of meaning, to clarify the decision-making process.
