My orientation to psychotherapy is integrative; I recognize the value of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and family approaches. I have come to believe that no one approach is necessarily the best. Each individual is unique, so the therapeutic approach that is used should reflect the needs of the client. By tailoring therapy to fit the needs of each individual, an atmosphere is created in which the client feels secure to explore his or her feelings. I have worked in many different treatment settings, and with diverse population of adults and adolescents. I have experience treating individuals, couples, and families.

My goal is to help my clients to create more meaningful and enjoyable lives for themselves by helping them uncover/realize the potential they have to solve their own problems. Together we will talk, evaluate, and process these issues to enable a better understanding of YOU. I put an emphasis on having a safe place to process desires and disappointments while allowing you to learn new ways to approach current challenges. This is achieved by utilizing proven counseling techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Your concerns and experiences are unique to you and together we will set achievable goals.
