Beginning therapy can feel like a big step and I applaud you for making this effort. Our work together will be collaborative and I respect your input and feedback about how the process fits for you. Therapy is not just an hour-a-week process. We will exchange messages between sessions for feedback and information in order to effectively pursue your goals.
I utilize a variety of methods to understand your issues, goals, and strengths. Being primarily a solution-based therapist, I employ a client-centered focus to understand who you are and how to develop steps that will lead to your desired outcome.
I work with people ranging from young adults to seniors in their 70’s. Over the course of my 20+ years of experience, I have helped those with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, career difficulties, as well as families and couples dealing with a variety of issues. My approach is open and direct and always considers your sensitivities and needs.
