Professional statement

Humanist by nature-I practice therapy grounded in the belief that each of us already has all resources within ourselves to achieve a sense of balance and well-being. Ultimately good psychotherapy can help you feel personally successful in ways that matter to you the most.

In practice now for over 25 years, I work with individuals, couples and families providing therapy for a wide array of mental health issues. My goal is to help you create an authentic understanding of what you are going through so that you can achieve full resolution and live your life the way you would prefer to.

My in-depth expertise working with trauma, abuse, and self-esteem issues, and the related anxiety and depression that many people experience, is rooted in treatment methods I have many years of expert training in. I provide clients with the most effective, and efficient methods of overcoming even the most painful past experiences.

The basis for good therapy is implicit trust and a deep sense of understanding. These qualities have often been lacking in our personal relationships. We often underestimate our own personal gifts and talents- I can absolutely help you find and appreciate yours! In-person and virtual visits offered, servicing all ages including children and the elderly.


Message to clients

Positive psychology asks important questions such as, "Why live life feeling the same sense of being stuck, bogged down by the past, or afraid of the future?" Being a psychotherapist has taught me many things, most importantly, 1) you are not a diagnosis, 2) you have many qualities about yourself you are probably under-estimating the value of, and 3) you can live every single day from a place of perfect balance and sense of well-being, despite what may be going on around you.

Too often the field of mental health/psychotherapy acts as a representation and portrayal of the modern western health care system in general: focus on illness and pathology. While I do not minimize the impact of symptoms and suffering, I also do not minimize the easily missed strengths and resources often operating in a "behind the scenes" fashion.
