Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

As a psychotherapist for the past 25+ years, I feel passionate about helping people experience more joy and contentment in their relationships and their lives. I believe every crisis or problem that arises also provides an opportunity for healing and growth. Whether you are depressed, anxious, having marital conflicts, parenting difficulties, recovering from a traumatic event, or in the midst of a life transition, we can problem-solve together and discover new possibilities for you. My style can best be described as interactive and engaging. I am a supportive listener, yet give honest feedback and offer suggestions for positive actions.

 

More Info About My Practice

Clients express a sense of comfort and ease about sharing their personal thoughts and feelings with me. My great capacity to be compassionate helps people explore their lives from a nonjudgmental perspective. This can lead to greater understanding and the freedom to choose more satisfying ways of living and relating to others. Besides my work with individual adults and adolescents, couples and families, I also lead three ongoing groups: The Mother Voyage: A Personal Growth Group for Mothers; Adult Interpersonal Group: Working on Relationships; Young Adults Group: Coming Into One's Own Life (19-29 yrs.)
