Great to meet you!

I am an experienced therapist of many years who feels lucky to be in a career that engages my intellect and my heart. I have always had my own private practice which enables me to be creative and flexible in my approach. People, in all their complexity and shared humanity, continue to fascinate.

My approach to therapy

I am an interactive therapist; this is a relationship of back and forth. I pay attention to your choice of words, facial expression, body language. Our sessions are a dynamic exploration of whatever issue presents itself for that day.

What you can expect from me

In essence: why are you here? Typically some sort of behaviorial change along with emotional and intellectual insight that can maintain a positive change is the quarry. You may not always know exactly what you need or desire from therapy during a first session and that is o.k. Really, we are setting up some initial guidelines along with getting to know one another.
