People often seek therapy in order to change something in their lives, perhaps from feeling "stuck" in their relationships, careers, behaviors, feelings and thoughts. I am confident that positive change is always possible and that we all have the ability to make positive change happen. However, sometimes we need a little help getting there. I am a therapist who believes that if you keep on doing what you're doing, you keep on getting what you've got! The power to change your patterns, your thoughts, your level of satisfaction and happiness, and your life is....entirely up to you.
I have treated clients dealing with bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions, as well as marital and family-related issues.
I offer a non-judgmental, nurturing, and supportive approach in my work. My style is interactive, goal-oriented, and my therapeutic orientation is eclectic with an emphasis on CBT and Attachment Theory. I practice therapy with an approach that explores both past and present together, which I find helps to make more meaningful connections and life changes. I emphasize the relevance of changing negative thought patterns, and help you identify ways of doing so. Whatever your goals, both the treatment plan and my therapeutic style will be specific to your needs. Together, we will examine the ways you think & feel about situations in your life, and how you behave in response to these situations...while increasing self-awareness and learning more effective skills to help create the life you always imagined.
During our first phone conversation, we will briefly discuss what has brought you to consider therapy at this time. This is so that we can make sure that I'm the right therapist for you... if for some reason we find that I'm not the right person for you, I can help refer you to someone who is. I can also answer any initial questions you may have about my experience, your concerns, or about therapy in general. If it seems appropriate to move forward, we will discuss the fee and schedule an initial appointment.
I offer flexible office hours that include evenings and weekends.
