Depression, Anxiety, Pre and Postpartum Mood Disorders, Phobias, Relational/Couples Issues, Premarital Issues, Attachment Issues, Stress Management, Life Transition/Phase of Life Issues, Parenting, Infertility, and Personal Growth.
MY APPROACH
I take an approach to therapy that is based on the premise that people have an innate ability to heal themselves with the support of others. I focus on client strengths and empowerment. The therapy I provide is typically short-term but varies client to client. I am an active therapist who strives to give clients new tools to use in their everyday lives.
I am focused on providing individual, couple, and family therapy. Services I provide include but are not limited to: cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment therapy, systemic therapy, solution-focused therapy, intergenerational therapy, and motivational interviewing.

-
Individuals 4 years of age and up
