General Practice

I work with individuals having a wide range of interests and concerns. Whether working within a specific treatment modality such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for the treatment of anxiety or depression or within a general solution-focused framework when exploring a difficult interpersonal relationship at work, I help people to question their perceptions and to consider what continues to negatively influence their thinking about a situation or problem.

My work as a clinical psychologist has been influenced by family systems theory, by Carl Jung, by modern psychoanalytic theorists such as Stolorow and Atwood, and by attachment theory and the work of Daniel Stern and Daniel Siegel.

I encourage people of all ages and in all stages of life to consider psychotherapy as a means of personal growth. Teenagers struggling with issues of self-confidence and who want to break away from their parental influences may find therapy a helpful outlet. Young adults struggling with financial independence and those contemplating marriage may enter therapy in order to clarify their life goals. A recent break-up with a partner may trigger symptoms of depression and anxiety, and a course of therapy may offer a means to regroup and regain emotional equilibrium.

Adults in their thirties, forties, and fifties may be questioning the quality of their relationships, feel a general dissatisfaction with their lives, have experienced the loss of a loved one, be facing a troubling medical diagnosis, or want to explore a mid-life career change. Perhaps a conflict within the family of origin has begun to strain family connections in ways that require professional intervention.
