I primarily work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns and difficult life transitions. Many of my clients are often dealing with other co-occurring concerns such as depression, grief, trauma, and perfectionism.

You can expect our sessions to be laid back and informal. My calm, supportive demeanor and sense of humor provides a safe space for you to explore your unique concerns as we work on solutions together to get you back on track and living in the moment
Identify what you value, what fulfills you, and what gives you a sense of purpose. From there, we will figure out what you can do to build the life (including the kind of relationships) you want.

By helping you understand how you came to think, feel, and behave as you do now, we can cultivate self-acceptance, harness your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and help you live in a way that is congruent with your own values and goals.
identify the "stuck" places in your life, exploring what helped create this bottleneck so that we can create a better infrastructure that sets you up for success in the future. We'll use humor and creativity to find new solutions to old problems

I'm very active in session. I will share my thoughts if you would like to hear them and I will ask permission to challenge the thoughts/fears that may be getting in your way. Therapy doesn't have to be serious all the time either; Dark humor is OK!
Figure it out. That is our job! We know when to listen, and when to probe. We will support you on your path to closure, clarity, self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-reflection. Problem solving, strategies, healing or all of the above.

From the first session, we help you get clarity about how to move forward and start feeling better. We are smart, compassionate, thoughtful/active listeners. Ellen, David and I are experienced and use several modalities (CADC, EMDR, CBT, ACT, etc)
