My Approach to Helping

You change your life when you bring awareness to it. In a safe, compassionate therapy relationship you can look at confusing, conflicting or overwhelming experience and make sense of it. You can find your own truth - often a truth you couldn't have imagined. You can come to terms with the things that have haunted you, find solutions or acceptance, a different perspective - and sometimes a much deeper, richer sense of life. My style is engaged and collaborative. I am a good listener - I believe that an accepting, deeply empathic witness will allow you to open to new truths about yourself. But I also enter into the work with insight and helpful advice when appropriate. I also work with couples of all types. I find that when I help each member to fully express his or her needs, we can discover creative, loving solutions to problems.
