My approach as a therapist is heartfelt, direct, engaging, and down-to-
earth.  I believe the therapeutic relationship can be very powerful, where
emotional presence and human connection together are used as a catalyst
for personal revelation, insight, and change.  Beginning therapy together we
start where you are now, in the present moment.  As the therapy process
develops we will discover which techniques and styles of therapy will work
best for you.  

Adult Individual Therapy: Looking to our past experiences, relationships,
personal beliefs, feelings, and behaviors we can begin to redefine ourselves
and construct happier, healthier, balanced lives.  While many times a
mixture of coaching and collaborative problem-solving techniques are used
in individual therapy, this process of truly getting to “know yourself” not
only helps to create change in the present, but also creating lasting change
for the future.

Child Therapy: Working with children who are struggling with issues
related to divorce, blended-families, grief/loss, low self-esteem, anxiety and
codependency.  Among other techniques expressive, art, and other types of
play therapy can be beneficial.  Play Therapy provides a way for children
to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, non-intrusive,
healing process.      

Adolescent Therapy: Building rapport and gaining trust are very
important elements to my approach to therapy in general and even more
crucial to my approach with teens.  Whether the issues are related to
depression, trauma, stress, or major transitions, helping a teen uncover
his/her sense of self, find their voice, and a means of appropriately
communicating this voice can offer relief not only for teens, but for the
entire family as well.

Couples/Relationship Therapy:  So many issues can disrupt what our
relationships are "supposed" to look like: affairs, addictions, ex-partners,
blended families, grief/loss, and other major life transitions just to name a
few.  These, and many other stresses, all create secondary issues that can
hurt our relationships.  Sometimes we need to reconstruct the very
foundation of our relationship, while other times simple, minor tune-ups
are needed.  Together we can help your relationship communicate more
effectively, clarify and express needs, learn to hear, accept and
accommodate each other, build trust, and recover intimacy.
