Through our therapy we engage in a mutual journey of discovery to find out what makes you tick. Self understanding gives you choices. No longer will you operate on automatic pilot. Couple and Family Therapy operate in a similar way, except the work is to help family members listen and understand each other, to support and encourage each other. Families fall into hurtful habits of discord. That can be changed with effort and help.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world."
