My Approach to Helping

Do you worry a lot? Frequently doubt yourself? Feel you just don't fit in? I can help. I specialize in working with individuals to overcome distress, such as anxiety, depression, difficulty relating to others, negative self-talk, and low self-esteem. My work often involves helping clients break cycles of maladaptive behavior resulting from such distress, such as addictions, compulsions, and negative communication patterns. Building on the strengths you bring into therapy, I help you open up new possibilities to your present situation, develop tools to overcome your difficulties, and promote a greater sense of well-being.

I also work with couples and families who are affected when a family member is experiencing these difficulties or when relationships are strained. My focus is on helping you connect with one another in healthier ways so we can restore harmony and balance at home and create a supportive environment for everyone.

In addition, I also provide services to foreign students, workers, and immigrants who are having difficulties being in a culture different from their own.
