Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

My approach is best described as eclectic and holistic. My first priority is to provide a safe place for clients to talk openly and to feel empowered to make effective changes in their lives. I provide gentle and professional guidance. My style is actively engaged and focused. I offer warm support while focusing on practical solutions and skills that will be of real help and relevance for you. Clients often describe me as real and easy to talk to. I draw from a variety of approaches and strive to think creatively to provide effective and individualized therapy. Besides talking about problems and solutions, I am an advocate of enhancing treatment through body/mind, creative and experiential approaches. Integrating such approaches allows for a well rounded understanding and appreciation of all of our aspects and potentials as humans. In addition, play and creativity allows for greater insight, accelerated healing, and personal growth while having fun. I encourage you to be active in shaping your treatment, as therapy is a collaborative process. I believe that answers and solutions to problems reside in you. I can help you access your wisdom and teach you skills to become more effective. I also look forward to learning from you, as I found over the years that my greatest teachers were my clients - courageous and creative in healing and thriving in life.
