PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELING APPROACH:
My therapeutic work with clients begins by helping them identify the specific problem areas they want to address. Together we work to develop short and long term goals and strategies to cope with these difficulties. In order to achieve these goals, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities including: cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, existential, and insight oriented psychotherapy. Over the many years I have been treating clients, I have learned that the most important factor in effective psychotherapy is the strong connection and therapeutic alliance that my clients and I form together. As a result, I have developed a deep respect for my clients and I recognize the courage it takes to make difficult, but rewarding, changes in their lives. Whether through individual, couples or group counseling, I believe that one of the important outcomes of psychotherapy and personal growth is learning the skills of self-expression, self-reliance, and healthy communication in order to sustain open, honest, and meaningful relationships. My overriding goal in working with my clients is to enhance the quality of their lives. This is done by building on their strengths and enhancing the healthy coping they already possess, while adding new skills and perspectives to cope with life’s challenges.

I provide individual, couples, group, and infertility counseling for clients from mid adolescence through late adulthood. I am also trained in the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
