In my work with clients, I use a really practical, active and results-oriented approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I don't spend much time at all on trying to figure out the past origins and history of your problems. Instead, I help you learn and apply specific strategies, skills and techniques so you can overcome your problems in the present, and achieve whatever personal therapy goals you choose for yourself, such as: socializing, making friends, forming relationships, being as...

Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, growing to become a widely used theoretical...

My approach is relaxed and individualized and I like to use humor where appropriate. I love working with women who may look like they have their shit together from a distance, but behind the mask they wear for others, they are filled with self-doubt, worry, and are chronic over-thinkers. They have this nagging feeling that they're not good enough and too often compare themselves to the people around them. They're not great with personal boundaries and would rather disappoint themselves than o...

I know that simply being around others feels like an almost impossible task much of the time; people can be selfish, ignorant, and judgmental, at times even your family and friends. You've endured abuse and often are overwhelmed with emotion. Your external life and what you feel within yourself can feel wholly disconnected -- It is precisely because of this disconnection that we suffer. I am here to listen, to learn of your experiences, and together we will awaken a new sense of yourself by disc...
