I enjoy working with adults to help solve a range of problems, including trauma; anxiety; depression; concerns related to gender identity, sexuality, and sexual orientation; coping with medical diagnoses and chronic conditions; issues resulting from childhood (including past histories of attachment difficulties, narcissistic parenting, and emotional deprivation); and work/life performance issues. I will support you in understanding how your past might influence your present, while actively focusing on moving forward.
I have a few specialty areas of note:
Young Adults
I have worked successfully with many young adults, particularly those who would not normally consider going to therapy or who have been to other therapists but haven’t found it helpful. I enjoy working with high-achieving adults who are seeking to resolve some areas of stuckness. I also enjoy seeing young adults who have not been successful in traditional paths, like college, and are struggling to find a direction or motivation in life.
Perfoming and Visual Arts
As a former actor, I understand the benefits and challenges of pursuing the arts as a profession. I have worked with artists struggling to begin their careers, as well as experienced artists who have encountered performance anxiety, creative blocks, or career stumbles. I will work with you to better understand where these challenges emanate from and develop ways to confront or work around them
Parent Consultation
Parenting is among the hardest endeavors a human being can take on. It frequently ignites our challenges, fears, and memories of our own parenting. I have guided parents through all of the issues outlined in the Children and Adolescents sections. I know that what parents need is someone who will recognize their strengths, hear them without judgment, and support them in developing new ways of interacting with their kids.
