My Approach to Helping
"Once upon a time..." is the beginning of many stories. I believe each of us has a personal story that is worthy of an audience. If you are seeking therapy, you have a story to tell and I am the one you trust with the story you have told no one else. Perhaps your story is filtered through the lens of depression, anxiety, trauma or substance dependence. I will listen, and remain attentive to, and curious about the intricacies of your story. I will provide an atmosphere of safety without judgment so that enlightenment, healing and growth can take place. I enjoy working with couples, individuals and families to help enhance and maintain healthy relationships, manage life transitions, and symptoms related to depression, anxiety and trauma. My corporate background combined with my passion for psychotherapy enables me to provide practical, solution-focused counseling to clients struggling with work-related challenges.

 

More Info About My Practice
NEW CONCIERGE SERVICE BEGINNING IN 2013! Many of my clients are busy working professionals who have difficulty fitting counseling into their schedules. Some have child care challenges that can also create a barrier to in-office counseling sessions. My new Concierge Service allows for the flexibility of having counseling services in their home or office. It provides increased privacy and discretion. Sessions are not limited to traditional 50-minute time slots. Some clients reserve additional time in order to more adequately address their concerns, do the work they need to do, and get the desired results. This Concierge Service enables clients to structure their own sessions. This is a fee for service only. Insurance is not accepted for this service. Cash, credit and/or debit card payments are accepted at the time of service.
