Specialties
I specialize in working with individuals, families and adolescents struggling against anxiety. I work both with those with long-term chronic anxiety and those challenged by stress from a particular source. I avoid the rigidity of diagnosis. My job is to see my clients through their masks and create an experience of authentic connection to cultivate healing and change. I also often use humor in my counseling, but have discovered this is difficult to communicate on a website without sounding disingenuous. (Trust me though, I'm funny!) Educationally, my background balances research-driven and scientifically minded psychology with a holistic, systemic, and presence-based approach to counseling. As I weave this history together, a session may include both a mindfulness-based meditation and a brief educational offering about the brain. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, contact me to arrange a consultation! Our first 50 minute session together will be free.
