Biography | ||
I work with adults, adolescents, and children in individual, family, and couples therapy. I listen closely to clients to understand their current problems and related symptoms, thoughts, and feelings. I work collaboratively with clients to investigate the history of their struggles and to create a plan for change. Using cognitive, behavioral, and emotion-focused approaches, I aim to facilitate healing, growth, and change. Over the past 15+ years of conducting psychotherapy, I have been effective working with individuals struggling with emotional distress (e.g., depression, anxiety, anger), health-related problems (eating disorders, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, health anxiety, psychosomatic conditions) and relationship difficulties. |
