I tailor my approach to meet the needs of those who come to see me, but offer every individual the respect and compassion they deserve. Maybe you are seeking insight and awareness for the purpose of personal growth. Perhaps you are looking to address a particular issue and need someone who can be goal directed and offer specific skills and feedback. Maybe it's hard to name just what is going on and this is one of the reasons you have decided to seek help. No two people come to therapy for the same reason because no two people are the same.
I have considerable experience helping people address a wide array of concerns, including depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and relationship problems. I place an emphasis on exploration and insight development and use different techniques to assist with skill building.
In my 20+ years of practice, I have learned that there are few factors more important than the client-therapist match. Please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
