Individual Adult Therapy
My orientation for individual therapy integrates a variety of theoretical frameworks which I see as sharing many common ideas in addition to having their separate identities.
Central to me are the importance of the therapeutic relationship, empathy, and emotional attunement. I consider each client as unique and tailor my therapy as much as possible according to her or his needs, style, and personality.
My in-depth experience and understanding of couples work gives me special insights into relationship issues, which are often a source of other dissatisfaction and life difficulties, and I enjoy working with individuals who are also in couples therapy with other therapists.
​
The frameworks I draw on include attachment theory; psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, Gestalt, neuropsychology, EMDR, positive and mindfulness psychologies; and family and systems theory.
The following are areas I typically help individuals with:
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Family relationships
-
​Poor self-image, feelings of inadequacy
-
Shyness and other social concerns

Stress
