My Approach to Psychotherapy:
As a psychotherapist, I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to find effective solutions to the life concerns that bring people to therapy. The most important relationship any of us will have is the relationship we have with ourselves. Getting to know ourselves better, healing old wounds that keep us from being or having what we long for, can be the most fulfilling inner journey we embark on. Bringing over 35 years in practice, my goal is to help you achieve emotional harmony by using psychotherapy techniques. You are choosing to take a step that has the potential to be life-changing. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, or if you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, counseling can help you achieve these goals. While we can’t change difficult situations from the past, we can work together to help you better understand and resolve the challenges you face.
