As we all work to adapt to our new world that includes COIVD-19, it’s important to me to collaborate with you to find ways to respond to the current pandemic. I can help with anxiety related to the pandemic, as well as with the grief and sadness that you might experience. I am offering telehealth sessions via a secure video service, and also have an office on Waterman street (we can meet at my office once public health officials indicate it is safe to do so). If you are not looking for a longer-term therapeutic relationship, but instead would like a brief check-in with a mental health professional about how to cope with COVID-19, please get in touch and we can discuss what this might look like.

My general approach assumes that anxiety, pain, sadness, and difficulties in life are unavoidable, and at the same time the way we hold these experiences can be the difference between a meaningful and vital life, and one controlled by suffering. Oftentimes there is extra pain and suffering as a result of unfair and biased systems and institutions, and I am especially attuned to the impact these have on you and how you move through the world. I value being honest and straightforward, in order to partner with you to identify the ways in which you can gain more control over how you live your life.

When we first meet, I will take the time to collaborate with you to understand what you hope to get out of therapy, and then give you feedback regarding how I think we can meet your goals. If I don't think my style and skills are the right fit, I'll let you know and can help to connect you to someone who might have a different style.
