I believe the therapeutic relationship between a therapist and client is the key to identifying what needs to be worked on, and deciding how best to achieve those goals. I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to achieve the change they desire. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 30 years. I have worked in social service agency, psychiatric hospital, corrections and private practice settings. My work is augmented by 21 years as an adjunct psychology professor, in both undergrad and graduate classes. I have also worked in corporate HR. Let's see what we can figure out together about your situation.
This all starts with a phone call to discuss what's going on for you right now. I offer a free 15 minute consultation so you can get a sense of my style. Taking the first step is hard, but it's the beginning of the journey.

My education and experience has helped me be well versed in all of these types of therapy. But what's important is which one works best for you and your situation. And I will be honest with you if you are requesting a therapy method with which I am not familiar, or that I do not think would benefit your situation.
