My belief is that therapy is only as successful as the development of the therapeutic relationship. Your growth in therapy is dependent upon your ability and willingness to trust me, feel safe, and feel confidence in my approach. My work always begins with this recognition and focus, and has led to over fifteen years of positive relationship building. With this, I have had the privilege to witness amazing client strength, courage, and growth; ultimately these are the factors which will help you address difficult moments in your life. For fifteen years my focus has been on working with adults, adolescents, and families. My expertise includes supporting clients around depression, anxiety, divorce, relationship issues, life changes, and family conflict. In the last ten years, I have also been through significant training to inform my work with individuals surviving Trauma and PTSD. My approach is eclectic, as I don't believe any one theory can support the need's of each unique individual. Whether our work becomes insight oriented, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or interpersonally focused, our relationship and your strengths and goals will guide the process. Please feel free to call me with any questions.
