I work collaboratively with my clients in identifying goals for treatment with attainable outcome measures. I am able to provide several treatment modalities that best fit the individual's needs including; Individual, Family, & Couples Counseling. I understand that this can be a difficult decision and that there may have been many challenges along the way before making this initial contact. For these reasons I strive to provide everyone with a highly professional, confidential, and supportive experience as we explore possible treatment options together.

My goal is to provide you with the highest quality service in order to help you achieve your goals in therapy and in life. I will work with you in a way that builds on your strengths and potential while challenging you to take your life to the next level. I believe the most productive therapy environment is one of mutual trust, respect, and collaboration. My approach is down to earth and direct, yet compassionate and caring.

A central goal of mine is to help you feel comfortable. With comfort comes connection; in that connection can come progress. Goals shift, and therefore the ways we reach them shift. Being adaptive will help guide us. In time we'll explore the reason(s) you're seeking a listening ear and counsel all the while identifying and working toward the specifics things that you're seeking to accomplish. Through my experience I have developed an approach that relatable, approachable, and one that allows for developing a trusting relationship.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool of transformation, and an opportunity to gain a better handle on the sources of suffering in one's life. This process can take many forms, whether it's finding new ways of thinking and responding in the moment, gaining freedom from past influences, deepening self-understanding and self-acceptance, or finding creative and concrete solutions. I honor the depth and complexity of every client's unique personality, and put great care into listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating a relaxed therapeutic atmosphere characterized by honesty, open-mindedness, and non-judgmental curiosity.

With over 30 years of practice in psychotherapy, I have treated many different types of people and problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and dissociation. I have treated couples and families struggling to preserve their connections.

I have 20 years of experience working with older adolescents, adults, and couples. I utilize psycho dynamic, existential, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral treatment modalities to assist clients with exploring barriers to living a more meaningful life. I take an active approach to counseling focusing on the therapeutic relationship to assist clients in challenging behaviors, thought patterns, and interpersonal issues that may be interfering in their lives.
