My ideal client is motivated to be honest, courageous in exploring themselves, and committed to the therapeutic goals we set together.
My specialty is sexual assault, both incest and rape, and how it affects survivors and their significant others. Also, grief counseling, couples' sessions, mood disorders, self-esteem, and LGBT clients.
My therapeutic approach is humanistic and cognitive-behavioral. I create a safe place for clients to explore their deepest feelings and goals, without judgment or rigidity. I promote mindfulness, lifestyle changes, and positive psychology. The therapeutic bond that develops is nurturing and creates self-growth, insight, and self-acceptance.
