My Approach to Helping

Life transitions or changes can feel overwhelming and scary, but they also offer us an opportunity to grow. I work with adults who are struggling with change, so that they can reduce feelings of fear and anxiety, increase their sense of well being, and find workable solutions to existing problems. Relationship struggles, feelings of sadness, the birth of a new baby, or any traumatic event or crisis can challenge our ability to maintain a sense of balance in our lives.

The aim of my work is to collaborate with people, establishing mutual goals for therapy, and working to achieve them in the shortest amount of time possible. While the duration of therapy varies, positive strategies can often be identified and put into practice, with long term benefits, through short term counseling.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Your connection with a therapist should feel like a "good fit." if you do not feel, after one or two sessions, that your therapist "gets" you, you are not likely to enjoy the maximum potential benefit of therapy.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

The duration of therapy varies, depending on the goals and needs of each individual, but effective change can often be achieved in a short term process. I work with clients to set goals for therapy, and tailor a treatment plan to their needs, encouraging their ongoing feedback through the process.
