There are two primary elements that make up the majority of the magic that happens in therapy: the quality of what is shared between therapist and patient and the elements that are carried forth and applied to life. The relational qualities that are necessary for the unfolding of trust and insight are natural aspects of who I am as a person: warm, non-judgmental, accepting, curious, and kind. Most have not experienced these elements consistently in a relationship, and growth arises naturally ...

However, there is empirical data that shows the efficacy of augmenting medication with psychotherapy and lifestyle changes. Simple changes aid i...

Instead, I found myself in a journalism career and a marriage I didn’t like. Starting over after 30, I chose to return to school and pursue a degree in social work. Since then, I’ve worked with the military, in inpatient facilities, and in outpatient care. I love working with women who find themselves “ou...
