I practice individualized, solution focused therapy using an eclectic array of techniques to assist the person in regaining and maintaining an optimum level of functioning. My areas of expertise are in treating people with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, life transitions, and substance abuse issues. I am versed in divorce mediation. In addition, I am knowledgeable regarding the struggle adult children are having caring for elderly parents and offer consultation in exploring appropriate alternatives and managing the emotional distress associated with such decisions.
My clinical skill comes from my ability to join with my client in a safe and therapeutic manner, using an eclectic approach based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I assist the person in finding a solution/ direction which best meets his/her needs.
