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.

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!

Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns.

Therapy can provide the opportunity to express and process emotions in order to understand the root of a problem as well as create the possibility for lasting positive change. Therapy can also be a safe place where not only can you learn about who you are, you can come to understand what you want for your life. 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.

Therapy is designed to be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can focus on your own needs, values, and priorities. In addition to listening, offering guidance, and responding with empathy, I partner with my clients to set goals for our work, explore what's been helpful before (and what hasn't been), provide resources to reinforce new skills, and share information to help you better understand yourself and your unique needs. Therapy clients who work with me gain practical skills that improve their lives, and they feel more empowered to solve problems.

Our positive and empowering therapeutic approach lets you build new tools for living, and create the life you want to live. Yes, you can change your world. Social therapy is not about getting into your head, but getting into your life. It is a psychology of becoming. We help people effectively use all of our creative, emotional and social resources to develop new approaches to living their lives with others – which enables people to transform their lives and the world.

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.
