Therapy Styles:
I create a comfortable environment in my office where people feel safe to share. It is my belief that each of us is unique in our histories and in the strengths that we bring to a situation. Part of the experience of therapy is to identify the strengths and successes we have had in our lives and to discover how these can impact the current concerns we are facing.
I view therapy as something like traveling on a journey. People invite me to join them for a while. We look at where they have been and where they are now. We explore where they might want to go. Choices may need to be made as new paths appear. We all share the desire to live meaningful lives and to be accepted and cared for. I believe therapy can enhance that possibility. As I work with people I take an active approach in sharing my thoughts and feelings.
I prefer to tailor my approach to the specific needs of each client. Modalities that would best describe my eclectic approach are: Behavioral; Brief/Solution-Focused Therapy; Cognitive/Cognitive Behavioral; Family Systems.
Areas of Expertise:
In care and respect for each person’s unique history I work with people to create hope and a plan for their future. We discover together ways to work through relationship troubles, parent child issues and life’s difficult transitions. Paths are found that move beyond depression and anxiety to a more meaningful life.
