" Welcome. You, like many of us at some point in our lives, may be dealing with an issue that you need help with at this time. Life is complicated and often stressful, and over time stress can impact our ability to cope as well as we would like. Perhaps you are struggling with changes in your mood, energy or self-esteem. Or experiencing problems in your relationships; perhaps having trouble functioning at work or in social situations. I have over 30 years experience working with individuals on these and other concerns.
I provide short-term, solution focused counseling, as well as more in-depth therapy helping individuals address deeper issues. I tailor my treatment approach to your individual needs, drawing on a broad range of techniques and strategies, including teaching mindfulness skills.
My approach is compassionate, direct and respectful. I provide empathic listening and constructive feedback, bringing a sense of curiosity, and of humor, when appropriate. I believe we all have the capacity to learn, to grow and to flourish, and I look forward to supporting you on your individual path forward."
