In my therapy sessions, I enjoy helping people:
- Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
- Live more fully with persistent pain or illness
- Reduce stress
- Energize creativity
- Improve interpersonal skills
- Learn to cope with difficult situations
- Get unstuck
- Create meaning and value in life
My primary goal as a therapist is to teach you how to create change outside the therapy office. I offer brief individual therapy, generally 4-16 sessions during which I will work with you to identify goals and develop strategies for meeting them.
I use a number of techniques for helping you create change. Sessions often involve teaching a specific skill, offering opportunities to practice the skill, and providing feedback. We can draw from cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and mindfulness strategies. When appropriate and desired we can incorporate exercise into our work together. My office is located next to the Forum Nature Area and MKT trial. Some clients prefer to walk outdoors during therapy. Additionally, I have space in the office for those wishing to incorporate yoga, mindfulness, or relaxation into their work here.
