It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, mood and personality disorders, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and encouraging. I provide support as you examine core issues and change underlying patterns of behavior or simply gain perspective concerning a recent issue.
I enjoy working with people who come to therapy wanting to discover aspects of themselves which have previously been unknown to them. In psychology, we call these "blind spots" or "growth edges" and we all have them. These are "parts" of ourselves that lay just beneath the surface that sometimes need a nudge to become conscious to us. These are the "gems" we mine in therapy to help you gain insight and clarity.
We will get to know one another. We will get a feel for what working together will be like. I will answer all of your questions. I will gather some history and we will establish expectations for therapy.
