My approach to therapy involves empowering persons to better understand themselves and acquire the tools to heal and make desired life changes. I utilize a combination of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapeutic orientations in my practice. Consistent with an emphasis on empowerment is my wholistic focus on total well being. I promote balance across all personal dimensions (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and social).
My life coaching practice draws from a similar wealth of psychological knowledge, however, with more of an educational emphasis. I facilitate the acquisition of problem solving and success orientation skills, aimed at enhancing personal empowerment and life satisfaction.
My therapeutic style is active, warm and engaging. I also foster increased self-awareness and both internal and external resource building. One of my specialities is helping persons strengthen a sense of self by clarifying identity, enhancing self-esteem, increasing self-trust, and building on and utilizing inner strengths.
In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I provide life skills workshops to groups in a variety of settings. My emphasis in such forums is to de-mystify issues related to mental health and promote the skills and resources that support mental wellness.
