What's My Approach to Therapy?

I am an experienced therapist specializing in individual and couples therapy. I help my clients with an array of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, life transitions and marital and relationship difficulties. I provide a safe space within which I strive to get to know and understand my clients. I work collaboratively with them as we figure out what their needs are and how best to address them. As my clients locate what they need within the therapeutic relationship, they experience growth and change in their lives.
