For many people, the decision to begin therapy can be difficult and anxiety-provoking.  I largely work from an analytically-based relational psychotherapy perspective, though believe it is useful and necessary to draw from different treatment models to come up with a plan together with my clients that feels constructive and valuable.  I work hard to find a balance between meeting my clients where they are at emotionally, and listening closely for unconscious material that may be impacting their lives in counter-productive, emotionally painful, or even harmful ways.  

My areas of clinical interest and experience include:

• Relationship struggles
• Trauma
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Self-esteem and co-dependency
• Parent-child conflict
• Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents
  
• Stage-of-life changes
• Counter-culture lifestyle issues
• Grief and loss
• Addiction
• Self-harm
  

Finding a therapist that is a good fit is often difficult; I encourage anyone interested in beginning therapy or building upon a previous therapy to contact me for a consultation to see whether my skills and services are a good match for their needs.
