I use an eclectic approach to determine what encouraged each client to sit down with me. I take a personal and family history and look at obstacles that are blocking a client from moving forward. With couples I take histories together, focusing on communication skills and their individual stories, which reveal what each person brings into the rela
I may draw on various approaches according to the problem you are dealing with and my experience with what may benefit you. These include cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and psychoeducational approaches. I may propose different ways of looking at or handling situations.

I work from a Strengths-Based, Existential and Solution-Focused perspective. In plain English: we talk one human to another about what it's like to live in this ever-changing world. In those conversations, I help you rediscover your strengths, which are the tools you use to reach your goals.
Many of my clients come to therapy for help with relationships, and are frustrated that they repeat patterns but don't have an alternative. I believe relationships are central to life and I also know that much of what we learn about how to relate comes from childhood. Often we've outgrown certain ways of interacting, but it can be hard to k
