I have decades of experience treating diverse individuals and couples. My approach is strength-based and holistic, providing a supportive and safe space to utilize psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy strategies. My background includes leadership roles in behavioral health organizations and teaching/training of professionals.
We will examine your unique situation holistically, looking at the strengths you bring to bear as an individual, or in relationships, as well as the challenges and stressors impinging on leading a more productive and satisfying life.
I will work with you actively and collaboratively so that we 1) understand the way your perceptions impact mood and behavior and 2) explore underlying conflicts that influence feelings, actions and your situation.
Therapy is about change. I'd like to see my clients be better able to identify and overcome fears that are obstacles to change in mood/outlook, behavior, and situations that are non-productive. For couples, improvement in communication that allows them to articulate and meet their respective needs is a focus for attaining and sustaining long-term stability and satisfaction as a team.
