I work with a wide range of age groups; young adults who are defining themselves, increasing autonomy, strengthening identities, often communicating through behavior; couples trying to improve communication styles or learning how to negotiate transitional periods in their relationships; older adults navigating life's challenges with resulting changes in roles. Clients of all ages may be dealing with relationship issues, poor confidence or self-esteem, loss, depression, anxiety and addictive problems, seeking to understand the sources of their discomfort rather than continue trying to avoid or outrun their problems.
My clinical practice, while analytic by training, blends approaches that are suited to your individual needs. While I consistently find that more frequent meetings lead to the work unfolding in a more efficient manner, this is always determined by your preferences and individual circumstances.
Among the most meaningful factors in a successful experience with therapy is the relationship. It is within the safety of this relationship that you will increase your insight and understanding, remove obstacles from your path, improve communication skills, realize your talents and potential, and reach your desired goals.
