Are anxiety, anger, or the need to be perfect negatively impacting your life? Do you have problems with your relationships? I can help. I have helped people deal with these and many other issues. Often, my clients begin to feel relief after the first session. People find me warm, friendly, and caring - saying that talking with me is very helpful. I will provide you with a place where you can feel safe to talk about any problem or concern, knowing that you will be respected, supported, and well cared for in a professional and confidential manner.
I use an interpersonal relationship approach to therapy, and I combine a variety of cognitive and emotion-focused techniques to help you achieve your goals. I base these on your needs as a person or couple consistent with the topics being covered in a particular session.
While I can help people with most concerns, I have special expertise in interpersonal and relationship issues, anxiety, anger, perfectionism, and dealing with family conflicts - both current and those from the past. I also have expertise in working with men, people in the military, and college students.
