Adult Psychotherapy

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.
