General psychotherapy practiceI have a general psychotherapy practice providing individual therapy to adults and adolescents, couples therapy, and consultation to parents. I treat adults and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, loss, as well as work and relationship issues. During adolescence, these issues are often expressed on the body with eating disorders, self harm/cutting, and substance abuse. I specialize in helping adolescents who struggle with these body based disturbances. In addition to individual therapy, I work with couples. Therapy can help couples navigate a crisis and work on overcoming obstacles to intimate and satisfying relationships. Lastly, I consult with parents of children of all ages.
My treatment approach is informed by psychoanalytic ideas. Specifically, I rely on the foundational idea that growth and progress take place within the context of a supportive relationship. Regardless of the specific issue or difficulty that brings you to therapy, my approach is to help you sort through your unique thoughts and feelings. My goal is to help you learn more about yourself and how your mind works so that you feel more satisfied in your life. |
