My focus is to get people back to living more fully, resolving trauma, abuse or whatever roadblocks in life have led you to the important decision to pursue psychotherapy. I have worked diligently in 25+ years of therapy practice learning how to foster an effective healing process. Good therapy is built on a relationship of non-judgmental understanding, acceptance and rapport; growth is facilitated through a balance of challenge and support, developed in collaboration that best fits each client. The ultimate goal to discover personal potentials withinfor better, more satisfying living; a more okay self to be well your world.
I have worked extensively with the healing process for many problems in living and the consequent depression, anxiety, wounds to self-worth, interpersonal difficulties and other sequelae that result from psychological difficulties. I provide the professional understanding and nonjudgmental personal space to promote healthy self understanding & growth.
I've integrated many therapeutic approaches over the years to develop the flexibility to create interpersonal collaborations that best fits each individual. My style is highly personal, intense at times, balanced with perspective and humor. I will discuss openly by phone my expertise/experience, therapeutic approach and style and how I think I could help.
