I enjoying working with all sorts of populations including people struggling with anxiety, mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), men's issues and eating disorders.
I believe we all have the capacity to change and grow, and we each have times in our life where we need a little bit of extra help. I hope to help you to reconnect with yourself and with others in your life.
First session
In the first session, I am hoping we can just start to get to know each other. I'll ask you what brought you into therapy at this point in time; I hope to hear a little bit of your story. I will tell you a little bit about myself and open the floor to any quesitons you might have. We will decide together if we feel this is a good match.
Strengths
I feel my greatest strengths as a therapist are my openness and non-judgemental attitude, my patience, and my belief that everyone has the ability to grow.
Ideal clients
I have a wide range of experiences, and am happy to work with people of different populations and different issues. I have a long history of working with people struggling with food and body image related issues both in private practice and in eating disorder treatment centers. I also really enjoy working with men amd with older adults.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
CBT is helpful, and I tend to incorporate that into my sessions. Also, having focus on what is driving and sustaining unhelpful behaviors can help you to live a life more congruent with who you want to be.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
We can do this on its own, or as part of a larger treatment plan.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness based techniques, at times overlap with CBT and other therapies, in order to help decrease overall depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as thoughts and urges related to addiction behaviors. We can also work on meditation techniques if you would like.
