My Approach to Helping

I feel that the key to any successful therapy is first and foremost the relationship between the client and therapist. I believe that change is possible to those who seek it. Therapy is a process, which hopefully leads to personal growth and exploration. I have worked extensively with teens and young adults, especially those in transition. The transition from middle to high school, high school to college, or college to "the real world" can be complex and baffling. There are so many felt expectations and a multitude of feelings to sort through.

More Info About My Practice

In addition to traditional talk therapy methods, I believe that it is important to integrate ones feelings and mind with their body. We live in a chaotic world filled with many distractions, that often, these two entities (mind and body) exist apart from one another.

My Role as a Therapist

I view my role as a psychologist to be a facilitator in the change process. I cannot change a person without the individual putting in their own work, but I can ask hard questions, point out what I see, and be a sounding board. I view life as a journey, and I can serve as someone who can be of professional assistance for parts of it.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

Therapy is a unique process for each individual and can be quick or long in its duration at various points in a person's life. Generally, after the first session, I talk about what concerns I see that need to be addressed and together, we come up with a game plan. Therapy tends to end when the issues are not coming up as much, and is mutually agreed upon by both therapist and client.
