If we could talk our way out of all of our difficulties, you probably wouldn't even be looking at my profile right now. Sometimes we need to try a new approach, and that is where behavioral therapy comes in.

This means we are going to engage in researched-backed practices in and out of session designed to build skills and change behavioral patterns in your life that have been holding you back from living the kind of life that you want.

For the 25 last years I have worked successfully with adult clients dealing with a wide range of issues including personality disorders, marital and relationship problems, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, abuse issues, and mental health concerns. I believe a trusting relationship between the therapist and client is the foundation for all growth and change. However, the relationship itself is typically not sufficient. I will help you set goals for your therapy based upon what you would like to have different in your life, and together we will explore and change the blocks which have prevented you from achieving your goals.
