The term "psychotherapy" comes from ancient language which literally means "soul healing". Many people see this as going beyond religious conceptions, and refer to it as healing of the inner person. There are many tools, approaches, and methods that can be effective in the healing process and I would like to help in that journey. With support and challenge, positive change can happen!

Talk therapy can help you become your true self. I have worked extensively with adults and have a good understanding of childhood issues.I work with individuals and families from an interpersonal approach with a focus on emotions.I believe that all people have resources to solve problems.I am easy to talk to and I have great listening skills. I have worked many years with adolescents in public education. I have had great success with them because I understand what it is like being an adolescent today. I also have an extensive background in substance abuse.

Whether working with individuals or couples, I utilize an individualized and collaborative approach to psychotherapy. I am often asked by prospective clients how long or in what way I treat a particular issue and my response is that I do not use a cookie-cutter approach to people and their presenting problems. Everyone is unique and has their own set of strengths and challenges. In our first session, I will provide you with my assessment of the presenting problem and recommendations for treatment and long term sustained recovery. If you are not comfortable with my approach or with me, I will assist you in finding another therapist.

Psychotherapy offers the venue for deeper personal awareness. Self-awareness is often the key of the emotional and mental disorders that can affect our lives. My approach to psychotherapy is to provide a safe atmosphere conducive towards open dialog where we can explore life patterns, belief systems, emotional blocks and develop insights towards deeper personal understanding. The development of healthy self-esteem and self-awareness can lead to a more satisfying life style. Your attitude will improve; your relationships will improve; your choice making will improve. The burdens of the past will heal and your life will become yours to live.

I recognize that no two people are alike and there is no one size fits all for treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to identify the specific needs and challenges that they would like to address. Together, we then determine which interventions will likely be most helpful for achieving one’s goals. I have extensive experience helping clients with a variety of challenges, including managing acute and chronic stressors, overcoming mood and anxiety symptoms, managing relational stress, gaining control of self-defeating habits and behaviors, and coping with sudden and expected losses.

All people have problems. When the problems are not the consequence of their own doing, such as resulting from abuse, neglect, or tragedy, I work to help these individuals muster their personal resources to better cope and learn recover from the trauma. However, most of the problems that people tend to have are the result of the poor choices they make. This is the frequent consequence of not really knowing who they are. My work as a psychotherapist is to help my clients become more aware of themselves. Lots of times it means facing some irrational and negative beliefs that get played out over and over. I work in a collaborative way that helps increase my clients knowledge of themselves.

My approach to therapy is about building a real, supportive relationship where we can explore your challenges. I don’t see myself as the expert with all the answers—instead, I work with you as a fellow human, helping you understand your choices and patterns while respecting your independence. In our sessions, you’ll have a space to discover how you move through the world, find more genuine ways of being, and face uncertainty with confidence. Through this process, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself, build stronger relationships, and learn to live with more purpose—even when life is tough.

Therapy can be a helpful way to address life's problems. It is a proven treatment for a wide range of mental health issues. Asking for help can be tough. Many parts of our society send us messages that we ought to be able to take care of absolutely everything all by ourselves. The truth is that all human beings need other human beings in order to thrive. Some human beings have special expertise in connecting with people and being helpful. They're called therapists. After the first or second session, many clients tell me they wish they called a long time ago!

Traditional psychotherapy focuses on what is wrong with the person, and removing the disorder. However, our work together will take you further. As humans, we're not meant to simply be devoid of negative emotions or life experiences. In addition to successfully navigating the negatives of life, we're capable of experiencing positive emotions and truly thriving in our communities. Our work together will take you there. What will your life look like once you've moved past the depression and anxiety and were flourishing?

Unhappy uncooperative children and teens often do not want to go to psychotherapy because it focuses on their negatives behaviors. I have developed child-friendly techniques that are highly effective because they are fun and entertaining. When children enjoy coming to therapy they are open to constructive criticism and are willing to try new patterns of behavior. The success that results raises self-esteem and fosters empathy for others.
