| Practice Description: |
If you are reading this, you already know it is time to make some changes. Perhaps a relationship is worrying you, or you are burdened by feelings you just can't shake. Although friends may be helpful, they can only take you so far. I will listen to you and work with you to reduce your stress. Once your life is more in your control, you will find yourself making better choices and feeling more like yourself again. When the problems that brought you to therapy have less ability to affect you, deeper change begins.
Deeper changes happen when you begin to identify what you really want from this one precious life of yours. You are more than the expectations of your family, friends and co-workers. I will help you to access the tools you need to initiate change and the inspiration to use them.
I am a insight-oriented therapist who incorporates humanistic, family systems and behavioral theories into my work. I have often found the use of empathy, humor and measurable problem-solving techniques to be helpful. Whether you opt for short or long term work, therapy is an investment that lasts a lifetime.
