Complimentary Phone Consultation
It can be complicated to find the right therapist, but it is often critical to the success of your experience to have a “good fit”. To help with that, I offer a complimentary 10 minute phone consultation prior to your first session. This can be an opportunity for you to ask questions about my therapeutic style or what to expect in your initial sessions. We will also go over logistics so you can feel prepared.
Individual Therapy
I am experienced in multiple, evidence-based individual therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, psychodynamic principles, and Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Additionally, I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, which means that I am trained to consider alternative, holistic ways to improving mental health. While a number of my clients have utilized psychotropic medications and continue to do so with success, I also enjoy exploring how to improve your symptoms through nutrition, vitamins and supplements, and exercise/movement. Based on your presenting issues, I will integrate these methods to tailor sessions to your unique needs. My specialties include:
– Anxiety disorders
– Mood disorders
– Adult ADHD
– Relationship issues, including intimate relationships, friendships, family dynamics and professional relationships
– Occupational issues, including work/life balance
– Difficulty adjusting to life transitions
– Infertility and struggling to conceive
– Parenting issues
– Improving work/life balance
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is an opportunity to hit the reset button and look at your relationship with new perspectives. With honest clarity, partners can sometimes realize that the assumptions, behaviors and dynamics occurring are harming their relationship. I create a safe and open space where you can begin to take the time to invest in your relationship with each other, listen and begin to understand the other’s point of view. I provide tools and resources to help partners increase understanding, foster healthier communication, and ultimately build a more fulfilling relationship. I am trained in Gottman Method- Level 1 and often incorporate this method into couples sessions.
Clinical Supervision & Consultation
Since 2000, I have been offering clinical supervision and consultation to student interns, those working towards licensure and fully licensed therapists. I have served as a clinical leader in multiple organizations, which has prepared me to offer supervision and support to a wide range of clinicians. Similar to my style with clients, I offer a direct, yet supportive role that encourages growth and success. I have special interest in supporting those that are looking to move into private practice and offer resources along with our consultation sessions.
As your therapist or consultant, my role is to raise awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses, provide actionable suggestions for growth, and guide you on your journey towards positive changes and a healthier mindset. Together, we will work to better understand life’s challenges and day-to-day obstacles that detract from your life and focus. We will begin to identify and practice things that will strive to make you stronger and better.
