My approach to therapy

Psychotherapy is an evolving and often subtle process in which, ideally, positive change and growth are experienced as a result of a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic process provides an opportunity to explore and deepen your understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your challenges. Increased insight and awareness can make more conscious choices possible, ideally leading to an increased sense of fulfillment, satisfaction, and meaning in our lives.

Insight alone may not be enough to create desired changes in our lives, and some challenges benefit from more concrete cognitive-behavioral strategies, which I integrate in my practice.

My areas of focus include Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self exploration and identity concerns, major life transitions, and disordered eating and body image concerns.

I welcome you to reach out to me with questions about my approach. I offer a free fifteen minute phone call to begin to explore whether I would be a good fit for your needs at this time, and I consider the first three sessions to be exploratory so that you can assess how you feel about talking with me and whether we both agree that I may be someone who can help.
