| Practice Description: |
Calling a psychotherapist for the first time can be a daunting decision. Engaging the right therapist can bring relief!
Each client requires a specific therapeutic relationship that fits unique needs and comfort levels. In practice for 33+ years, my approach is pragmatic~ listening empathically to learn from you what works best; and collaborative~ together creating a safe, confidential, nonjudgmental environment where we can talk about and resolve initial problems, and any deeper concerns.
Working together at your pace, we explore self-defeating habits, behaviors, attitudes and relationships thus clearing the way for better choices, satisfaction and balance in your life.
COUPLE & FAMILY PSYCHOTHERAPIST
I offer prompt, confidential consultations for individuals, couples and all kinds of families from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds; sexual and gender identities. Together we explore your concerns, build trust and comfort, ease suffering, and discover resiliency to support growth, change, and achieve your therapy needs and goals.
BRIEF CONSULTATION and LONGER-TERM PSYCHOTHERAPY
I can help you mend relationship and psychiatric problems including: depression, anxiety, dread, stress, sexuality, childhood abuse, recent trauma, co-dependency, bipolar, eating disorders, loss/separation, divorce, couple counseling-- providing professional help and healing for adults, teens, children experiencing a range of symptoms that disrupt family, school, work life.
