My approach to therapy is to first create a safe place where clients feel free to express themselves fully. After goals are identified I utilize an eclectic approach, which includes feedback from clients to develop meaningful and useful strategies.

Couples Therapy is a true specialty. Whether you are on the brink of a break-up or seeking a deeper connection with your partner, I can help.
