The relationship between client and clinician is a key component of treatment efficacy. I believe that this therapeutic relationship is founded in a spirit of collaboration, an emotional bond and an agreement on goals and tasks. Two main characteristics of therapy are critical to the building of this therapeutic alliance: expertise and compassion. I am confident in my ability to help resolve any issues in a satisfying manner, prepared in both theory and practice, clear in my thoughts, ideas, and logical in the problem solving process. Of equal importance, I am accepting, understanding and genuinely interested in you and your needs.
Most of my initial professional practice has been providing treatment for troubled teenagers in the child welfare and delinquency systems. However, since 2007, my scope and expertise have broadened to include individual mental health treatment, family therapy, couples therapy, trauma, anger management and substance abuse/ addiction treatment.
I understand the difficult times that we all find ourselves in currently and invite any and all to reach out with any struggles they may be dealing with. I offer and welcome both in-person and remote teletherapy, depending on your comfort level. Are you feeling anxious, unwell or worried as of late? Please do not hesitate to call, or email me!
