Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

Are you feeling stuck? Would you like to create a more comfortable balance at home, work and in your relationships? The decision to participate in therapy is one step you can take toward building a more healthy, fulfilling life. In a safe, nonjudgemental, collaborative atmosphere, we would identify your strengths, honor and examine your experiences, work to understand how they impact and shape your current situation, and develop skills to help you move forward.

My overall approach is humanistic, which values each person's uniqueness and innate potential for positive growth and transformation. Depending upon the individual needs and goals of my clients, I combine this perspective with various other theoretical orientations, such as cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches. Besides my training in marriage and family therapy, I have a background in fine art and art therapy and strive to incorporate a creative approach whenever appropriate.

More Info About My Practice

I believe that everyone should have access to quality care and will do my best to work with your budget. As a part of this commitment to my community, I offer a sliding scale and a free 25 minute initial phone or office consultation. For those seeking therapy for the first time, this can be an opportunity to ask questions about the therapeutic process and look at all options for your care. I am glad to try to help you find the support you need, even if it is not within my practice.

I am an Aetna Network provider.
