My Approach to Helping

Are you wondering if there is any hope left for this relationship? Do you feel like intimate strangers? Do you feel lost and empty? Are you afraid to trust others and wonder if you can take one more painful hurt? It's often difficult to let someone help you find the connection you lost, even if you feel you cannot see your way out. I help people regain hope and skills, and learn to appreciate the wonder in life and relationships, while accepting what is beyond their control to change. My approach to therapy is client-directed and skills oriented. I spend a great deal of time listening to the needs, processes, and concerns of individuals and couples, and work together with my clients to develop mutually agreed upon goals. My work is tailored to your particular issues and goals. I am particularly focused on helping you find the skills you need for daily living, whether it is to be more activated or find greater peace. I often hear clients talk about experiences in therapy with few suggestions or direction. Even worse, some couples tell me they were told to get a divorce; and felt they were hopeless. I will treat your relationship with the serious attention it deserves. I am "marriage-friendly" and support the unique value of committment in relationships. Whether to stay or leave, however, is your relationship decision to make.
