My theoretical approach is based on a variety of methods, techniques and philosophies based upon both research and my clinical experience.

"For more than a decade, I have successfully helped individuals, couples, and families find greater clarity about what they want their life to stand for and how to pursue that life. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, I help my clients attain the vibrant and valued life they desire. My approach in therapy is active. I work based on the assumption that clients are able to achieve rapid and significant changes in their behaviors. The interventions used in this approach help clients access alternative ways of "problem solving" that utilize the resources beyond the "common-sense" mind. https://effective-therapy.com/"

"It's difficult to start therapy. Many people carry the therapist's business card in their pocket for weeks before calling. But if you're in emotional pain, it can feel like life is running you rather than you being in control. This can lead to a lot of pain. It can be helpful to talk to an objective professional in a safe and confidential yet intimate setting. My goal is for us to work together to recognize unhelpful patterns and to use more of your personal strengths to regain a sense of agency and equanimity. I have a few openings for new clients..."
