Psychotherapy/Consultation
Welcome!
Life can be challenging at times...Do you feel stuck, depressed, anxious, angry, have relationship problems, a career impass, weight issues? Sounds like It is time to re-gain control of your life!
I have been a psychotherapist for 15 + years, and offer help to clients who face a variety of challenges; be it individually, with their partners, or their children/family. As someone who has moved to this country at a young age, I know about starting anew and taking risks. My training to become a psychotherapist and a variety of positions held within the field of mental health, have equipped me with valuable skills to help you feel better, to get un-stuck.. I offer a warm and interactive environment that facilitates clarity. While providing feedback, my ultimate goal is to helping you to find you the answers you seek.
My approach
I work with clients holistically according to their varying needs. We discuss your goals at the onset of your therapy (and assess your progress towards them). Together, we look at your childhood experiences and how they may influence your current life. We examine which coping mechanisms you use or may be stuck in. How do you take care of your emotional and physical needs?
(exercise, your diet, your support system, etc.) I use several different psychological methods like: Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Positive Psychology, as well as Systems Family Therapy to help reduce anxiety and worry, improve your mood, and develop healthy coping styles. I also integrate Eastern Philosophies of healing in our sessions (such as mindfulness and meditation).
Please feel free to contact me for a consultation; be it for long-term or short-term therapy, or just a "tune-up". I work with these health insurance providers. In addition I can offer a sliding scale in order to meet your financial situation.
