Great to meet you!

I have been a practicing therapist for over twenty -five years. Helping people move away from distress and into peace, is a passion of mine.

My approach to therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Coping Skills, object-relations, and family dynamics. Spirituality and existential perspective. Positive behavioral reinforcement- whatever has worked, do more of that. What are some unconscious requirements that are causing your symptoms?

What you can expect from me

I want to know what your goals are in therapy, (those may change some). I will explain how I work and why I use scientifically proven modalities. Then we will build on how to achieve that. We then work on your daily behavior and thoughts, matching what you have as your goals.
