Adult Psychotherapy
I have experience treating adults with problems including, but not limited to:
- depression
- anxiety
- grief and bereavement
- post-partum depression
- prenatal stress management
- post-traumatic stress disorder (related to military service, child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual abuse)
- career counseling
- personality disorders
- marital and relationship difficulties
- parent-child relationship difficulties
- difficulties arising from immigration and acculturation
- life stress relating to major transitions (such as divorce, serious illness, children leaving home or elderly parents developing dementia)
- life stress related to sexual and gender identity crises (such as coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender)
When I work with adults, the primary emphasis is on relationships (including the client-therapist relationship). Cognitive and behavioral techniques for symptom reduction when appropriate.
