I see my work with people as helping them to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Because we are all different, my services are highly individualized and I do not have a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I take a collaborative approach to working with you. Together, we will first understand your issues and then find better ways of coping, by learning and practicing skills that will allow you to make long-term changes in your life.

My training and experience with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) lead me to use this therapeutic model most often. CBT is a means of learning to change disturbing and unproductive thoughts. Since our thoughts affect our feelings and influence our behaviors, learning to change your thinking helps you feel and act differently.

Family history and family dynamics are important influences on most of us, and I take these into account in the clinical work, both with individuals and with couples and families.I treat adults and adolescents, and conduct individual,couple, and family therapy.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
