Individual Therapy
I work with clients experiencing a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, perfectionism, loneliness, life transitions, trauma, and grief. Using evidence-based approaches, we will co-create an individualized treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Our work will center on understanding how your past shapes your present experiences. With this understanding, we will put words to visceral feelings that haven’t yet made sense and shed light on longstanding patterns that have been resistant to change. By developing this new insight, we will begin to separate who you authentically are from how you learned to be in response to the challenges you faced. This insight can empower you to live a life that feels more genuine and fulfilling.
Psychosis and Related Unusual Experiences
I have specialized training and experience in assisting individuals who have unusual experiences such as hearing voices, worries about being monitored, or having spiritual perceptions or communications that defy conventional explanation. Sometimes this has been diagnosed as psychosis or schizophrenia. With your own expertise at the center of our conversation, we will explore your current experiences and their impact on you with the respect and understanding you deserve. Together, we will work on developing new, effective coping strategies and heal lingering emotional wounds with compassion and new clarity. My goal is to support you in achieving greater freedom and wellbeing in your life.
Parenting and Family Support
When a family member faces challenges such as psychosis, severe anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or other internal struggles, it affects the entire family. As a parent or other close family member, you may feel helpless, resentful, guilty, or hopeless as you navigate these new challenges. In our work together, we will cultivate a compassionate understanding of your own experience and those of your family member. Together, we’ll break down the barriers to open communication that you are all capable of having, and harness your strengths to foster greater effectiveness and unity within your family.

I provide consultation on a single session or ongoing basis to clinicians working with individuals with psychosis or their family members. Rates available upon request.
