Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your therapist. One of the objectives of therapy is to help you figure out how you want your life to be different than how it is now, envision the future you want without today's problems, & ways you can achieve these changes in practical & effective ways. I use a blend of different therapeutic approaches because each individual--and his or her problems-- is special and unique. My goal is to help you bring about change by constructing practical and effective solutions that are achievable.

We may begin our work together by answering these two key questions:

1) How do you want your life to be different?

2) What will it take to make it happen?

Starting therapy is an important decision. Many factors-- the cost & the time invested in therapy, & trusting another person with your problems--effect your decision to enter therapy. This is why it is important for you to make an informed decision about the therapist you choose & have some idea about his or her success rate.
