About My Clients
Feeling depressed, anxious, uncertain of what path to take next? Feeling lost, alone, or unsure of yourself? These are all common concerns that my clients face daily and have come to understand their source by working in a safe collaborative space in therapy. Many of my clients are at a cross roads whether it be leaving their parents home, trying to launch from college, deciding whether or not to get married, have a baby, or change careers or retire. Therapy can help with any transition.
My Background and Approach
I have an extensive background in psychology due to discovering that I wanted to become a clinical psychologist at an early age. I graduated magna cum laude and earned a membership into Phi Beta Kappa from Skidmore College. I earned a Psy.D. in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. After an enriching education from Pepperdine, working both in inpatient and outpatient settings, conducting intellectual and personality testing, working with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples, and groups, experiencing supervision and course work from a variety of theoretical orientations, I knew I wanted to become an expert in psychoanalytically informed treatments for adults and adolescents. This led to a two year post-doctoral fellowship at the Wright Institute of LA. This is where I cultivated the foundation of how I conduct psychotherapy. I have specialties in both eating disorders and addictions and work with people who have a wide variety of issues: depression, anxiety.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have always been the individual to reach beyond social cliques and make friends with individuals from all different races, backgrounds, religions, you name it. I love learning about differences and understanding how there is still a basic humanity that we all share. I am curious to learn about you and what brought you to look for a therapist.
