I was a family law attorney for 30 years before I returned to graduate school for my masters in clinical psychology. I focus on couples and individuals who are ready to work through their transitions, learn to feel emotionally competent, and become relationally adept. I practice the Relational Life Therapy by Terry Real along with a humanistic approach.
My work is client-led and focused on how to move through the transitions and challenges faced by the client. Using a direct approach, I focus on developing a warm and empathic space that allows the client to make changes in a supported atmosphere.
In the first session, we work on identifying the therapuetic goals, and establishing the parameters of our work together. We discuss the confidentiality of the work, the client's history and experience in past therapy settings, and start to develop our therapeutic relationship that is the foundation of change.
