My Approach to Helping

Though I work with many types of clients, I specialize in working with people going through difficult times in their lives to include divorce or relationship disruptions, job loss, depression, loss of a loved one or pet, and other life transitions. I love my work because, although I initially see people at a low point in their life, as we work together in a deeper way over time, they often find the courage and skills to make a lasting change and live a life no longer dictated by past experiences and relationships.
Therapy isn�t easy. Most of our wounds and defenses are the result of what has happened to us and to those around us. Numerous factors contribute to how the process of therapy goes: one�s readiness, the fit between therapist and client, and even aspects of ourselves of which we are not yet consciously aware.

My Therapy Focus

My approach to therapy is to empower clients to tap into their own emotions, strengths and resources to make the necessary changes in their lives. This includes coming to know your true self, finding alternatives to problems, creating paths in life to achieve realistic goals, changing behaviors that have led to negative outcomes, and gaining the strength to accept things that cannot be changed.
