My Approach
I consider it a deep privilege to work with people who bravely choose to share private and vulnerable aspects of their lives with me to achieve positive change for themselves and their loved ones. I use an integrative approach, with a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and relational techniques, depending on a person’s presenting concerns and preferences.
You can expect me to work hard to establish a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship with you so we can achieve meaningful treatment results that include symptom relief as well as the ability to face life’s challenges with more freedom and flexibility.
​
I will strive to help you better understand and ultimately change behavioral and relational patterns that interfere with your self-determined goals and desired outcomes. To find out more about my approach and to see whether we might be a good fit, please reach out to me to set up a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.
