My Approach to Helping

Is life happening to you? Anxious? Sad? Lost your spouse? Your job? Your identity? I believe in meeting you where you are and facilitating your movement to a place of peace within your life. I think holistically and use metaphor, intuition, pictures and a variety of other means to help you work towards a resolution of the problems you face. When working with couples I beleive in collaboration, honest communication and win/win solutions wherever possible.

More Info About My Practice

I ask clients to commit to 6 weeks of weekly therapy. In some cases, that is all that is needed but in most, we continue weekly meetings or move to a part time schedule until your goals are reached. Many insurance companies reimburse for out of network therapy and I provide you a monthly statement to make that process easier for you. I also work on a sliding scale to help those with economic challenges.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I work with couples determined to stay together or struggling to find a "good" divorce. I also feel confident in my ability to help individuals deal with anxiety, loss, sadness and depression.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

To help clients in finding peace within themselves regardless of what their external life circumstances may be.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I love witnessing the change and growth in my clients during our time together. I see the best in them and then help them to see that too. It's an amazing experience.
