I provide both individual and family counseling, and although I work primarily with adults, I also enjoy working with teenagers and college age students. For issues with young children, I often work one-on-one with parents to give them straightforward, effective ideas about how they can best help their child.
My goal is to make our sessions both helpful and practical. For instance, I have developed a treatment approach for panic attacks that involves "mapping" the symptoms and learning specific ways to stop the attacks. This often allows my clients to either reduce the use of medication or halt it entirely. I work with clients to not only stop the symptoms, but also better understand what is creating them. I believe truly effective therapy entails both developing insight and making behavioral changes.
My treatment specializations include:
- Depression and Anxiety
- Panic Attacks and Phobias
- Parenting and Family Issues
- Sexual and Relationship Problems
- Divorce Issues
- Medical and Health concerns
- Grief and Loss
- Work and Career issues
- Stress Management
- Conflict Resolution
If you have a question about whether or not I could be helpful with your particular issue, don't hesitate to call me and I'd be glad to your questions and help you determine if we would be a good fit.
