The relationship between a client and therapist is a partnership, with every person having unique needs. I understand that therapy is not a one-size fits all process and that's why I utilize a client-centered approach. Working together as partners, we can find the most effective approach that will help you reach your treatment goals. It is often negative thinking patterns that get in the way of creating meaningful and lasting change. I will help you create the life you want by letting go of unhelpful beliefs and feel empowered in making life choices.

As a psychologist for 42 years, 21 years as a school-psychologist, 22 years in private practice, I am frequently asked about my areas of specialty or my modes of treatment. I explain that what WE do (therapy is a joint effort) has everything to do with the person sitting in front of me. Everyone brings his or her own problems, histories, relationships, personalities, situations, and resources into therapy and it is not a one size fits all paradigm. And as similar as we humans are, we are each of us, unique.

I believe our central motivation is to seek out and maintain strong emotional bonds with important others. When this is blocked, we don't give up that need, we learn ways of connecting that are dysfunctional and that wreak havoc on our emotional lives. Thus, we often ask ourselves, "Why is it always me?" or "Why do I always do that?" or "Why am I always alone?" I believe the key to growth is in understanding how your thoughts, which we are often unaware of, influence your feelings and behavior in the context of your relationships.
