My Approach to Helping

My clinical experience is in working with individuals, couples, and families. I generally describe my treatment approach as systemic. This oftentimes translates to working with more than just the client. Change can happen a lot faster, and have a greater chance of becoming permanent if I can affect the environment as well. When working with children or adolescents, I often work with the family as a unit -- helping parents to fine-tune their parenting skills. Relationship work frequently involves the participation of significant others. I have a common-sense approach to most problems, which focuses on self-care and self-awareness. I also try to provide clients with psychoeducational information that can be empowering and helpful in developing skills for coping with and managing symptoms. Please contact me if you have any questions about me, my approach to therapy, or to assess whether or not I have the expertise to help with your particular problem.
