About

Sometimes our usual coping skills aren’t enough to manage the serious challenges we face. I can help you develop practical tools to resolve the immediate problems that bring you to therapy, while also identifying and changing underlying distorted beliefs that may be creating unhealthy patterns in your life. I provide down-to-earth, compassionate counseling for depression, anxiety, trauma, loss and major life transitions. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, education, EMDR (when appropriate for trauma) and self compassion, we can work together to achieve your goals. In addition, one of my specialties is helping people who want to leave dysfunctional, controlling relationships. Trauma bonds, extreme manipulation, loss of self and lack of closure make leaving more complicated, but I can help you develop a strategy not only to survive the loss but also to thrive in your new life "after".
