About My Clients
A large number of my clients are coming to therapy for the first time or trying it again after a dissatisfying experience with a past therapist. I make it my business to demystify therapy and provide framing and context for why we are doing what we are doing and collaborate with my clients to build trust. Some of the feedback I've gotten from clients after our first session is that they are pleasantly surprised with how easy I am to talk with.
My Background and Approach
I was trained at NYU Silver School of Social Work where the clinical orientation is primarily psychodynamic. Using that as my touchstone, I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral, ACT, and Mindfulness therapies to help my clients. My clinical experience is working with young adults, adults, and the aged to address trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, and more severe mental illnesses.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have a keen interest in helping folks process and understand grief, particularly loss related to addiction. Additionally, helping people understand complex or ambiguous losses related to progressive illness or sudden disability is something I am passionate about. I take care of myself using exercise, volunteering at an animal shelter, and by providing suicide prevention trainings. I believe life is hard enough- therapy doesn't need to be.
