Great to meet you!

For the past forty years, I have been providing psychotherapy and counseling, treating a wide variety of emotional problems and disorders. My work has taken me through hospitals, residential treatment facilities, outpatient and community clinics, and day treatment programs. Throughout these experiences, I have found that the vast majority of people possess an ongoing, innate desire to heal themselves, overcome personal obstacles, and make improvements in their lives, regardless of how difficult their problems may be.

My approach to therapy

This basic human drive forms the foundation of much of the therapy work that I do. Through the application of specific clinical therapies and methods, I assist my patients in revising the assumptions and beliefs that underlie their decisions, changing the expectations they have of themselves and their relationships, and taking advantage of the choices that are always available to them.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be about me getting to know you, forming an initial understanding of what it is you want me to help you with, and then collaborating with you on specific goals you want our therapy to focus on.
