Areas of Expertise
01
Mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder
Depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders have profound effects on our ability to function. Whether you are initiating medication or psychotherapy for the same time, restarting treatment or need to change your current regiment, treatment is the first step to regaining quality of life.
02
Anxiety disorders
Individuals with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, panic, and social anxiety disorder, among others benefit from medication, psychotherapy, or both treatments.
03
Trauma
Many people seek treatment after they experience, witness, or learn of traumatic events. The symptoms and symptom intensity varies based on biological, psychological and social factors unique to an individual and therefore requires tailored treatment options.
04
Relationship concerns
Whether starting a new relationship, struggling with the decision to end one, or managing a challenging relationship, our interactions with others can bring up intense feelings, ambivalence, and anxiety. Working with an objective, trained professional can help solidify your needs and make the best decisions for you to live your most authentic life.
05
Life stage transitions & challenging life events
Starting a new stage in life or experiencing a significant life event, such as moving, college or graduate school, changing jobs or careers, parenthood, retiring, divorce or end of a relationship, loss of a loved one, caregiving, or managing a chronic or terminal illness, often comes with stress and discomfort. Like trauma, our experience of these events varies, and treatment with a trusted provider to clarify your thoughts and feelings around the situation can bring relief.
06
Bereavement
We typically experience bereavement for loved ones with whom we had a complex relationship as more intense or prolonged. We also experience grief when our life situation is not as we planned or hoped it would be, resulting in profound effects on how we feel. Working with a provider to make meaning of your loss and life circumstances is the first step in improving the quality of life for yourself in the present and future.
