I am a licensed psychologist and a certified trauma therapist. My practice specializes in supporting people coping with particularly difficult circumstances who are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD or substance abuse. I adhere to the principles of positive psychology developed by Dr. Seligman: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Positive Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment and from three major therapeutic traditions: cognitive therapy, family systemic therapy, and interpersonal therapy. As a trauma specialist I support my clients to regain a sense of safety, and to transcend their pain to live fulfilling meaningful lives. I am a witness to their suffering but also to their recovery. I also specialize in supporting people facing major life transitions such as career changes, starting or ending relationships, becoming a parent, or coping with sudden illness. I work with each client on developing awareness of their new challenges and learning ways to redefine these changes as an opportunity for growth. At the end of each session I ask clients to answer five simple questions about our meeting and then use this feedback to inform our work. This technique is known to increase effectiveness in psychotherapy. Please contact me should you have more questions about my services.
