What I Do

Life can be challenging and we all have our ups and downs.  At times, it can be difficult to move past what is getting in our way of our happiness in order to be our true selves. There is nothing like having an objective outsider that can truly listen in a non-judgmental way, help you to reflect on  the situation and factors that may be contributing, and together come up with strategies  which can allow you to move forward in a more thoughtful and meaningful way.  I am are here to be that person for you.

I use an interactive, eclectic relational approach where I am here to listen, but additionally we have a dialogue in which I provide feedback. My individualized approach is specific to each person I work with, depending on what you are looking to achieve. I am always training in evidence-based practices to meet our clients' needs. 

I work with adolescents and adults as individuals, couples, and families collaboratively to achieve the goals that you have set forth in the beginning of the therapeutic process. Depending on what these goals are, the therapy can be brief and solution focused, or more psychodynamic-oriented and longer term.
