My approach to therapy
is relational, psychodynamic and humanistic. I view the counseling process as a collaborative and empathic relationship of communication, investigation, exploration, reflection and insight. I believe it is the therapeutic relationship itself that is most important in creating the conditions for the deep exploratory work of psychotherapy, and discovering the possibility of self transformation.
I specialize in working with adolescent identity issues, anxiety, depression, attachment problems, interpersonal communication, intimacy issues, relational trauma, & chronic physical illness, especially Type 1 diabetes.
The onset of diabetes can contribute to a number of psychological symptoms complicating the already challenging balance of physical issues. I have experience working with the unique issues that arise from living with Diabetes. I offer specialized therapeutic services in this area including individual consultation, parental support, and psycho-education.
