Individual Therapy: I use an eclectic approach of therapeutic models, including, but not limited to, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and narrative therapy based on your own personal goals of treatment. I believe that personal growth and self-reflection comes from support, guidance, and nurturance. This environment helps individuals build insight into their self-defeating thoughts and maladaptive behavior patterns, thus increasing self-esteem, and enhancing how you interact with the others. Areas of Specialization: · Depression  & Anxiety · Grief, Loss, Bereavement · Spirituality, Religion, Mindfulness · Existential Concerns · Physical Heath & Wellness · Job Stress · Addictions · Difficulties dealing with change · Emotional distress related to break-up or divorce · Maladaptive defense mechanisms Couples Therapy: In relationships, we tend to have the same arguments over and over, with little insight into how to change our patterns. When this occurs, there tends to be distance or emptiness in the relationship, pervasive feelings of anger, or resentment, and thus a lack of interest in physical affection or a physical relationship with one another. I work with couples to break out of repetitive arguments by helping the couple gain insight, improve communication, thus enhancing intimacy, improving low sexual desire.
