I work with individuals who want to overcome persistent behaviors, thoughts and emotions that inhibit their ability to live a life they love so that they have meaningful relationships, deeply fulfilling work and self-confidence. My approach is based on the belief that in order to benefit from therapy the therapeutic relationship must be grounded in direct communication, collaboration and compassion. You need someone to be real who will both challenge and care for you. My patients often reflect they are relieved to finally work with someone who engages in conversation and shares responsibility for the progress of each session. In session you can expect to see my diverse training and experience demonstrated in the use of different therapeutic processes thoughtfully designed to support you. I look at where you want to land, take charge of your obstacles and collaboratively navigate the primary issues and associated symptoms causing you pain. In my experience there are certain methods that pull measurable results you can quickly benefit from while also respecting the steady process change requires. I offer a good balance of challenge and safety and methods to both understand and overcome the stuck patterns blocking your path to peace, happiness & success.
