Psychotherapy is a unique partnership that can help you experience yourself and the world in new ways. Good therapy can help you:
       -- learn or strengthen skills for coping with life's challenges

       -- identify and harness your own talents
       -- develop better understanding of yourself and others
       -- increase your capacity for joy

Clients say they find me warm, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. I listen closely and actively, but I don't fit the stereotype of the near-silent therapist. As one client put it, "This feels more like a conversation."

I have 23 years of experience helping people with a wide range of struggles, including:
      -- mental health conditions (for example, depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders)

      -- difficult life experiences (trauma, loss)
      -- academic challenges (ADHD, procrastination)
      -- life cycle transitions (college, young adulthood, midlife)
      -- relationship conflicts
      -- parenting concerns

I am experienced in providing brief counseling that targets a specific problem, as well as longer-term therapy that helps people understand and work though deep-seated conflicts and relationship patterns. Our first meeting is a consultation, in which we determine whether I can be of help and what kind of help will be effective.

In addition to treating clients in private practice, I worked in a college health setting for 13 years. I love helping young adults navigate the special challenges -- and opportunities! -- presented by this phase of life.

I am a network provider for Highmark Blue Shield. My out-of-pocket fee is $130 per session; I also offer a certain number of reduced-fee spots for clients with low incomes.

I invite you to call me for a brief phone consultation. We'll talk about your goals and see if working together could help you achieve them.
