My Approach to Therapy

For more than 20 years, I’ve been providing compassionate guidance and support to individuals and couples who want to confront challenges, gain insight, and improve relationships and communication. I especially enjoy working with adults of all ages who are navigating life transitions, like entering adulthood, becoming parents, facing midlife, changing careers, ending long-term relationships, or adjusting to an “empty nest.” I view therapy as a creative and collaborative process, and I’m flexible in my approaches, which include walk-and-talk sessions in Ojai, California. My overarching focus is on the importance of a genuine relationship between my clients and me. My clients would describe me as open-minded, nonjudgmental, and curious, with a calm presence and a sense of humor. I’m active in sessions, and I’m an out-of-the-box thinker who is comfortable with unconventional ways of thinking and respectful of different perspectives.
