It's hard to make the first call. I get that. Please don't worry. I will listen compassionately with warmth. You CAN be less sad or worried. You CAN look forward to getting out of bed in the morning. Are relationships making life difficult? Old hurts that you can't let go of? Aging and retirement? Do you have family conflict? Self-doubt or indecisiveness? I can provide therapy, short term consultation, resources and/or on going support to you.
My therapeutic style is a melding of psychodynamic psychotherapy, problem solving, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and understanding the impact of your unique childhood experiences on the present. Having completed training in couples and family therapy I view relationships in terms of interconnections, expectations and disappointments.
I have been successful in helping people to improve the quality of their lives for 30 years. Client feedback reports that I am welcoming, calm, caring and open to going wherever your work needs to go. Compassion for yourself, curiosity and wanting to move forward is a good starting place to begin therapy. I look forward to getting your call or email.

I do not treat serious mental illness, but rather the families caring for folks who suffer. Together we'll identify the foremost challenges are in your current life. Collaboratively you and I will figure out what 1. you're willing to change and 2. what methods of change are realistic for you. We'll focus on the present, understanding, when/if necessary, how the past informs current challenges.

Originally trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I look for themes throughout one's life. That said, as my career progressed I was trained in CBT. CBT focuses on behavioral changes via examining thoughts and how they shape feelings and consequent behaviors. My working style melds a variety of modalities. I work with you, you are the expert of you. Together we will navigate the waters.
