My experience in the USA includes working in outpatient treatment centers, hospitals, intensive-in-home therapy for adults and children, school settings and community mental health clinics.

 

I have worked on military installations throughout Europe for seven years. 

This has provided me with experience of working with the military community and I am sensitive to the challenges that it sometimes can bring to individuals and families.  

 

As an expat myself, I understand the challenges of adjusting to a new country and culture. This can lead to feelings of isolation when your natural support, such as family and friends, is thousands of miles away. I recognize that relocation and overseas adjustment poses unique challenges, and I can provide support in helping you with your adjustment and to learn new ways in which to cope with these stressors.

 

Approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.
