My Approach to Helping
I believe that therapy is a great option for individuals or families looking for help with specific issues, or those interested in delving deeper into their own psyche. I use an eclectic approach, drawing from many different theoretical orientations, and I tailor my method of treatment to each individual. It is my goal to make the client as comfortable as possible, so that he or she can feel at ease, and I collaborate with the client to set and achieve desired goals.

 

More Info About My Practice
I do not accept insurance, but I am flexible with my fees, and work with clients to find a fee that they feel comfortable with. Additionally, I offer a complementary 15 minute telephone consultation.

 

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialize in family conflict including transitions between life stages, and adolescent behavioral changes, relationship issues including infidelity, premarital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce, and post-divorce issues. I welcome clients suffering from depression, anxiety, anger management issues, and domestic violence. Additionally, I enjoy working with children and adolescents, along with their parents, as they develop and mature into adulthood. Finally, I am trained to facilitate the scientifically validated PREPARE/ENRICH Assessment. This is an online survey for pre-marital counseling, marriage enrichment, or couples therapy that assesses the couple's strengths and growth areas in order to improve and build upon romantic relationships. Please feel free to contact me if this is something that interests you!
