As a practical, solution-oriented therapist, I will work with you to better understand and resolve challenges in your life, whether they are long-standing patterns resulting from our histories, or a practical in the moment problem arising from the stress of daily life. My style is warm and accepting, with a strong non-judgmental stance. Drawing from a unique skill set of training and experience, my approach is collaborative and interactive. I invite you to explore my website to learn more.
My specialties include working with trauma and PTSD, as well as eating disorders; I also have experience with mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, as well as difficulties associated with emotional regulation and managing stress. In addition, I enjoy working with career, phase of life, and relationship issues.
If you feel dissatisfied with your life or find yourself in a difficult personal situation, I bring an objective viewpoint and skills to help you find new, innovative ways of managing and resolving your difficulties and concerns. Please contact me should you have questions or to request an appointment!

This 14 week group meets for 2 hours weekly and teaches DBT Skills - Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. It offers step-by-step exercises for learning and putting skills in place for real and lasting change. By participating in a skills-oriented group, group members benefit from a structured, positive peer experience geared towards learning and finding solutions to ongoing life stressors. This group has been running for several years, and new groups begin each January, May, and September. I co-facilitate this group with Carol Miles, LCSW. NEXT START DATE: **Sept 4**, 2012.
