| Practice Description: |
“Therapy helps identify and resolve personal and relationship issues. It is an active process and this is a good first step.
I will engage you in the therapeutic process to make the concrete, lasting changes you desire in your life. What makes me successful as a therapist is my ability to pinpoint the issues and address them directly. With warmth, compassion, and humor, we will explore and resolve the issues of Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Co-dependency, Addiction, Parenting, Sexuality/Relationship issues, Career/Life transitions, Teenagers.
My real life experiences as an educator, business owner, artist, entrepreneur and parent inform my work. Clinically, I draw on a variety of evidence based and proven theoretical approaches, including psychodynamic, analytic and cognitive/behavioral models to help my clients. I work with Individuals, Couples, Teens and Families.
A good fit between client and therapist is important, so feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation to see if my approach might be right for you.”
