Many find themselves at a point where outside support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. Clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as depression or anxiety, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as entering a new relationship or starting a new job, can be stressful. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process in which we address these challenges in a safe environment by processing events from the past, exploring current patterns of thinking and behavior, and creating plans for change in the future.
In my 20+ years of practice I have helped individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships and problems at work or school. I offer an eclectic, solution-focused approach to therapy that is based on the best available research and which is tailored to fit each individual client.
