| Areas of Expertise: Depression Depression is one of the most common problems I see in my practice. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 15 million adult Americans experience clinical depression in any given year, and this number does not include those who have milder forms of depression. Whether you are feeling a little "blue" or are struggling with more severe symptoms of depression, therapy can be helpful to bring about change and relief. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Anxiety Another common issue which brings people to counseling is anxiety. Anxiety may be triggered by specific situations or fears, or it may manifest as a more general pattern of worry or rumination. I utilize concrete cognitive-behavorial skills to help my clients reduce anxiety symptoms while also using a psychodynamic approach to explore and resolve the underlying causes of the anxiety. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Stress We live in a stressful world in stressful times. There is an increasing sense of pressure, complexity, and overload. Individuals across the lifespan are feeling tremendous stress, which is contributing to a variety of mental and physical health problems. I have extensive training and experience in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and can help you to learn and implement life-changing stress-reduction skills. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Couples & Relationships For couples or individuals who are having difficulty with communication, trust, intimacy, or resolving conflicts, counseling helps you understand problematic patterns, learn more helpful strategies for relating to others, and solve the issues that are preventing you from having the relationships you want. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Students & Young Adults I have significant experience working with students both at the University of Southern California and at San Francisco State University. Having worked with adolescents and young adults for more than ten years, I deeply enjoy counseling this group of individuals during an important and formative time in their development. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Mindfulness & Somatic Therapy Mindfulness and somatic therapy emphasize awareness and present moment experience, and are holistically oriented approaches which integrate the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of each of us. Having practiced and taught meditation for over ten years, I bring significant experience to clients who are looking for an integrative therapy. |
