Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Our psychotherapy services are designed to address a variety of mental health concerns through evidence-based techniques. We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe negative thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, and mindfulness practices to enhance your overall well-being. Our therapists provide a safe, supportive environment to explore your feelings and develop personalized strategies for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and more. We aim to empower you to achieve lasting personal growth and improved mental health.

Are you feeling hurt, overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Psychotherapy can help. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic which means that together we will seek to understand how, over time, you have learned to perceive yourself, others and the world. I will integrate complementary therapies such as Gestalt, Existential, Cognitive-Behavioral when appropriate as we work together to unearth long standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a full and meaningful life. With clients working through trauma, I provide safe anchors to help you regain a sense of empowerment and balance.

Psychotherapy can help you understand the hidden emotions which affect your everyday thoughts and behaviors. I can help you recognize the underlying fears and motives which drive you to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Whether your pain is rooted in a difficult past, unhealthy relationships or lifelong mental health struggles, healing is possible. I will help you recognize unhealthy patterns that keep repeating themselves in your life, robbing you of closeness with others and inner peace. Then you will be able to grow toward thinking and feeling in new ways and relating to others differently. You don't have to stay stuck in the same painful place; there is hope.

Let’s face it – many children and teenagers don’t like therapy or counseling. It’s boring. It’s uncomfortable. They’re not sure how it’s supposed to work. I approach kids differently than most therapists do. I don’t bombard them with a lot of questions and I don’t try to “get” them to talk with me—an undertaking I find as insulting to us both as it is unproductive. Instead, I introduce a variety of topics and see which ones evolve into conversations that can heal, animate, encourage, stimulate, or inspire. I answer questions, offer opinions, and say what I think is going on without ever trying to muscle any points across. I work quickly, but never rush.

I use psychotherapy to help individuals address underlying sources of ongoing painful problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, and chronic problematic relationship patterns. This may include exploring past family dynamics and significant childhood events that have affected development. Increased understanding of the past can often lead to improvement in the present. I recommend tackling problems at their source because this allows the possibility of more permanent and deeper healing than can be achieved by simply addressing symptoms. As past events are gradually processed and resolved, we often feel that an emotional burden has been lifted; we just plain feel better!

Therapy can help you make sense out of the loss and past traumas as well as a place to give voice and understand better our story and the meaning we make from that story we want to tell to others about our life and who we are.

Clients will get a better understanding of how their current behaviors/relationships are influenced by their past family, school, work, and history. I provide a safe environment for clients to examine if and how they are going to change to better their lives and increase their level of happiness. I utilize a variety of treatment methods and give challenging "assignments" to help clients realize their full potential and practice skills taught in sessions. The trusting relationship I build with a client in therapy is my best therapeutic tool as clients can then safely explore topic "usually" uncomfortable in the outside world.

When I work with clients individually, I provide a safe place for them to talk about their problems and move toward finding solutions that will make further treatment unnecessary. .It really shouldn’t be necessary for therapy to go on for years. I am very interactive with people, am a good listener and a firm believer that humor provides needed objectivity to promote treatment. Even though we are talking about personal problems, I examine the family and social environments to provide a context for the client.
