I offer short-term and long-term psychotherapy as well as supportive counseling. I can offer therapeutic support when you need to talk about difficult issues, have a crisis, unresolved life events, a recent break-up, job loss, depression, anxiety, or simply want to learn more about yourself. I offer everything from a few counseling sessions to years of psychotherapy. Length of treatment, and course of treatment, is dependent on what we agree upon, based on your personal needs.

Some information on the modes of therapy I utilize:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
At times, it’s like we’re living in a movie with our own internal narrators who tell stories about who we are, what our future will look like, and what situations mean. Cognitive Behavioral therapy helps us become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and their relationship so that we can change old patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
This is like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with the addition of coping skills. It’s about skill-building, emotion regulation, and acceptance.
Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Therapy
We are more than our thoughts, sensations, and emotions that we hold in our awareness. Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy helps uncover that which is out of our awareness.
