| Practice Description: |
I can help you cope with the challenges you face in everyday life - challenges relating to work or school, moods, stress, relationships, trauma and abuse. If you aren't finding satisfaction or joy in your life, if you have dreams of something better but you don't know how to get there, or if you keep running into mental, emotional, or behavioral blocks, I can help. If you feel like life is out of balance, I can help. Together, we can work to restore that balance.
I work with adults and also specialize in helping college/university students to address the unique challenges that go with college life: balancing academic and social demands, the intrinsic and extrinsic pressures to succeed, fitting in, "adulting," and possibly most importantly, figuring out how to become the person you want to be.
I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into my practice to help people achieve and restore balance in their daily lives.
I find EMDR to be particularly fast and effective, but I adjust my approach to meet the specific needs of each of my clients. I do not take a "one size fits all" approach. My eclectic experiences in mental health, universities, consulting, and research help me relate to a wide range of clients and enable me to bring a unique perspective to our work.
My style is interactive and informal and I strive to develop relationships based on trust and genuine connections. My clients feel I "have their backs."
Please don't hesitate to contact me and we can set up a call so I can learn a bit more about you and your needs, you can get a feel for me, and we can talk about how I may be of help. Thanks!
