Toward well-being... Life presents challenges that often feel overwhelming and burdensome. If you are struggling to cope with anxiety, panic, or depression, adjusting to a health crisis, or recovering from some loss or trauma, I may be able to help. I work with your unique situation in order to develop new coping strategies that may incorporate strengths you already possess. I work with you to discover and make healthy choices that blend with your values and overall well-being.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, health challenges, traumatic loss, grief, relationship issues, and other life transitions. I work with individuals ages 21 through older adulthood. My approach to counseling is based on a variety of theoretical perspectives including Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies and Existential (meaning-based) Therapy.
My practice may include a variety of therapeutic techniques: talk therapy, monitored self-help exercises, relaxation exercises, artistic expression, journal writing, creative visualization, and guided meditation. Here, you have permission to discover the path ahead, to learn as you go along without the burdens of critical self-judgment.
