Individual Therapy
I approach therapy from a collaborative and experiential perspective. I want to know about your strengths and challenges, your history, and your dreams.
I work with individuals and families experiencing struggles with relationships, life transitions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, parenting, separation/divorce (children), anger, and gender issues. I have specialization in working with families with special needs, including helping families navigate the IEP process and coordinate with other care providers.
