My Approach to Helping
I am a counselor and licensed psychotherapist who works with teens and adults struggling with poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, eating disordered behaviors, Aspergers, trauma. loneliness and life transitions. I'm also a practitioner of EMDR, a technique designed to alleviate long held negative beliefs associated with trauma by exploring long repressed critical memories.
I've a great deal of experience guiding adults through painful times, helping young adults through academic, social and career pressures and working with all clients suffering from grief, social anxiety, family conflict and difficult interpersonal relationships.
I have worked closely with parents of young adults and helped many people navigate their way through separation and divorce.
I know a great deal about the struggles surrounding adoption.
I approach things from a current perspective as well as from the past to explore how patterns of behavior began or where hurtful experiences may still be impacting the present.
