Services Offered

• Psychotherapy for individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families.  With younger children (around 12 or under, depending on the child), I generally work together with parents.
  
  My style is active, collaborative, and respectful.  One of the main influences on my work (and a major focus of my training) is narrative therapy, but my work also draws on ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. 
  
  One of the tools I use, especially in working with trauma and its effects, is EMDR.
  
  I have experience working with people dealing with a wide variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, spiritual crises, marital conflict, infidelity and trust issues, divorce, parenting issues, school and education-related issues, extended family conflict, coping with pain and chronic medical conditions, dealing with infirm parents, stepfamily issues, aftereffects of abuse and trauma, work and career issues, and many more.  I frequently consult (with your permission) with primary care physicians, psychiatrists or other specialists to coordinate care when medication or other treatments are indicated.
  
  
• Collaborative Assessment and Collaborative Problem Resolution:  These are assessment and problem-resolution approaches I have developed, based on ideas of narrative therapy.  Please follow the links for more information.
