There is something in the human spirit that recognizes that our lives can be changed. A spark of possibility lives alongside our confusion, loss, anxiety, anger or trauma. Working with an experienced therapist provides a chance to access those possibilities, understand ourselves and our circumstances better, and bring about the changes that we want and need.
Throughout my 20+ years of clinical practice, I have trained in a variety of treatment approaches to better help my clients. I integrate these approaches into an interactive therapeutic style that emphasizes open communication, respect, collaboration, and emotional growth. I strive to balance exploration with education and guidance.
Whether you are looking for a therapist for yourself, your child/adolescent, or for you & your partner, please call me. I'll speak with you on the phone, discuss your situation and describe what our work would be like so you can decide if my approach is right for you.
