About

The one thing I’d like people to know about this process is that it’s just a conversation. You don’t need to know anything, or bring anything. If you are uncomfortable with small-talk, leave it at home. My recommendation for first and all subsequent appointments: “Come as you are." Whether you are looking for a warm place to express yourself, a sounding board, structured education, trauma processing, or identity exploration, I work with you on what you need- even if you have no idea what that is right now. We will start with a brief phone call to meet voice-to-voice, and I can generally begin sessions within a week. View 5 Photos I work with ages 17 and up with issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, bariatric surgery support, and addiction. Topics of focus include trauma, grief, relationship issues, burnout, perfectionism, distress tolerance, codependency, self-esteem, and self-exploration. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, DBT, and SE.
