| Profession: |
Marriage and Family Therapist
|
| Services: |
Psychotherapy/Counseling
|
| Practice Description: |
Psychotherapy can provide a time and place to help people achieve their life goals, make life changes, move through difficult life transitions, or better understand ongoing relational concerns. My work is based on the belief that we are each influenced by a variety of factors including larger social contexts, our individual family histories, and our unique life experiences. An increased understanding of ourselves and the various influences on our lives can allow us to make more conscious choices and changes.
My commitment is to provide a collaborative and supportive environment, to help you to explore your life circumstances, and to help you better meet your life goals.
