My Approach to Helping

I value creating a safe, productive, and welcoming experience. I'm a seasoned psychotherapist and coach in practice for 29 years.

I can help you work with the thoughts and feelings that keep you from feeling happy and satisfied. I specialize in resolving anxiety, stress, and self-defeating patterns that interfere with relationships, productivity, and in taking care of health and well-being.

I help you solve problems, achieve goals, and improve your life, sometimes with quick practical solutions, and often through cultivating self-understanding. This leads to greater emotional balance and access to more intelligence.

Clients tell me that they feel deeply understood by me. They say that I consistently find constructive meaning and positive angles hidden in painful struggles. Clients report feeling stronger, calmer, and have greater self-understanding and clarity. My style is active and straight-forward.

In therapy, we'll work together to discover obstacles in the way of living as you most wish, while creating new understanding as well as solutions to these challenges.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

We all need to be accompanied, listened too, and supported to make positive change. Sometimes you can be surrounded by lots of people, yet you don't feel like they hear you or know how to help you with your concerns and worries. Therapy provides a private place where you can speak your truth. My job is to listen deeply, ask questions that provoke new thoughts, insights, and ultimately behaviors in you, and to do this with human caring and empathy. We need to feel comfortable and safe in order to speak our truth. To the best of my ability, I work to create that safe and supportive environment for you.
