I work with men and women who are struggling with symptoms of depression and/ or anxiety, issues of grief and loss, compulsive eating, relationship/family and family-of-origin issues, as well as life-phase-transition issues. I am particularly attuned to how early life attachment relationships impact clients' interpersonal functioning as adults. Other special interest areas include working with clients with adrenal fatigue, individuals/ couples struggling with issues as related to fertility challenges and working with/ diagnosing clients with ADHD. I am qualified and licensed to conduct ADD/ADHD assessments and to assign a diagnosis accordingly.
I have ten years of experience leading Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills groups. I use DBT to help clients improve their ability to regulate their emotions so as to better manage symptoms of depression, anxiety and general mood volatility. CBT and Mindfulness skills are other therapeutic modalities I regularly use.
I have a great deal of interest in the information that is coming out of the "neuroscience revolution" that is underway. I use this information to help clients understand what THEY can do to develop new neural pathways that will help them think and act in new and healthier ways.
