My philosophy is practical and straightforward with an emphasis on personal responsibility. My approach is caring and supportive, but firm and result oriented. I will give you the tools to change your world. Here and now therapy focuses on the issues at hand, their investigation,understanding and resolution. It is, at times, necessary to go back in history and life experience in order to understand current thoughts, attitudes and behaviors. The goal however is always to find practical solutions and promote change that leads to a fuller and happier life.

My ideal client is someone who wants to make positive changes. They are motivated to work with the therapist to identify problems, are willing to consider new approaches, and are willing to believe that they can solve problems, enrich relationships, and improve their lives. People often come to therapy when old ways of problem solving are not working for them when faced with a current problem. I work closely with clients facing challenges including but not limited to: Anxiety, Depression, Postpartum Depression, Relationships, Parenting, Medical Issues, Caregivers, as well as ADHD (school/work related).

A meaningful therapeutic alliance holds the extraordinary potential to enrich our lives by fostering enhanced interpersonal connections, facilitating recovery from both physical and mental health challenges, and providing the clarity and understanding necessary to reach our full potential.
