As a therapist, I draw on a range of approaches to help you acquire the skills and experience to deal with these problems in a healthier manner.  This may include cognitive behavioral and interpersonal theory.  I tailor my approach to each client’s specific problems with the goal of achieving a satisfactory outcome.

During therapy, we may discuss a range of topics such as current problems, family history, addictions, occupational concerns, relationship issues, grief, depression, mood swings, anger, impulse control, guilt, shame, trust, anxiety and other areas of concern.

I’ll ask questions aimed at our understanding what thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors currently influence you.  Some of these may have outgrown their usefulness.

Often times, the adaptations we used when we were younger to get through life no longer work as we get older.  I’ll try and help you understand how you came to think and feel as you do and how to move forward with new skills.

We’ll work together as a team to help you develop new strategies and tools for dealing with specific behaviors. I encourage you to be an active participant in this process. To enhance your therapy, I may give you tasks to perform between sessions and suggest books or CD’s.

I work with individuals and marital/couples depending on the nature of your concerns.
