In my work with individuals, couples, families and groups, one main focus I use is to identify patterns of behavior that may be impairing their relationships as well as their ability to change and grow. Once these patterns are identified, we work together to create new and more effective ways of coping with whatever issues they may be facing. Our goal is to transition out of the old destructive patterns into the new, more constructive perspectives and practices. This is in an effort to improve relationships of all kinds.

I have extensive experience working with younger and older adults with a variety of disorders, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, various types of abuse, bipolar disorders, personality disorders and PTSD to name a few. I am well versed in many evidenced based practices that include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Treatment), Seeking Safety, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy – often used with personality disorders), ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy – used with relational issues), motivational interviewing and others. I am certified in CBT which is extremely helpful in dealing with many symptoms of depression and anxiety.
