THERAPY SERVICES
Whatever challenges you are facing, help is just one step away.How It Works
I provide individualized therapy suited to your unique goals and needs. I start by simply listening—putting you in the “driver's seat” of your session. You can tell your story however you need to tell it, weaving pieces of past and present, revisiting themes and noticing patterns, until together we create a “new narrative” of empowerment and growth. I combine a classic, psychodynamic focus on association, awareness and insight with more specialized methods such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression, weight management—issues that respond to specific change of thoughts, beliefs and actions.
We can also use body-based approaches—notably in the treatment of trauma and PTSD—that can help you better understand your own nervous system and somatic responses, and offer you some effective means of self-soothing, such as yoga, meditation, journaling and expressive movement.
