My objective in therapy is to assist clients regain a sense of balance and well-being that brings with it a sense of personal empowerment. As adults we all have life challenges, whether it be the loss of a loved one, ending of a marriage/relationship, or the challenges of work and parenting. I see myself as a guide to help you to once again feel in control of your life.
In my work I incorporate a developmental perspective helping my clients understand the impact life events have had on shaping their thinking and behaviors. Using this approach allows clients to gain insight and to develop specific and effective strategies to make the changes they want.
I have worked in educational circles throughout my career and have grown to appreciate the constant re-defining we do throughout our life. Developmentally, we change with every new experience and I enjoy helping individuals take life transitions to new heights.
