Individual Therapy

The individuals I work with seek therapy for all the emotional turmoil life throws at you: relationship distress, pressures to perform, anxiety, trouble sleeping and changes in mood. Others I see come to therapy with a broader wish to understand their own nature, to see themselves and timeworn habits more clearly.

My goal is not to fix problems in your life, but rather to help you gain control when it seems like the world around you is spinning.

In each case, my goal is not to fix problems in your life, but rather to help you gain control when it seems like the world around you is spinning. The treatments in which I specialize — Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — help people find more effective means of approaching uncomfortable emotions, including those feelings that tend to cause depression and anxiety. My experience working with leading researchers in the psychology field has afforded me a unique perspective on translating research into clinical practice and providing the best possible care for clients.

Strong CBT can help you change patterns in your thinking and behavior that have become over-learned — meaning the pattern is so habitual that you barely notice it.

In therapy, I use cognitive-behavioral strategies to change patterns in thinking and behavior that have become over-learned — meaning the pattern is so habitual that you barely notice it. I find that people are empowered, and make better choices, when they see how they habitually respond to hardship and instead choose to act differently. The result is a greater sense of peace and calm, both within oneself and in relationships.
