My Approach to Helping

My approach to psychotherapy is to utilize a practical, and interactive approach, providing the support and insight to help patients resolve current issues as well as historical patterns. Through empathy and direct communication, I assist patients in finding the solutions to life's adversities, challenges, and mental health.

My practice combines traditional with alternative and contemporary approaches, drawing from multiple styles, techniques, and perspectives to integrate what will be the most comprehensive approach for the individual's needs. The focus of my interactive approach is to help each patient, or couple, build upon their strengths in order to fulfill their potential, actualize their dreams, and achieve their life goals.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I meet every day with people who are overcoming worry, depression, dissatisfaction and conflict to find greater joy, fulfillment and meaning in their life. I love my work.

My Role as a Therapist

My role as a therapist facilitate a balance between attending to the personal needs of the individual or couples which I am working with as well as to provide insight and new meaning to their life experiences.
