My approach to therapy is open, warm, and informal. I believe that the key to success in therapy lies within the relationship that is formed. If you are given a nurturing and accepting environment to explore your life and your relationships, then healing and growth can take place. As a result, therapy can be tremendously rewarding and lead to lifelong positive change.
My first priority is to listen -- to understand your perspective and life experience. My therapeutic approach is collaborative. I tailor my intervention to meet your specific needs and help you access your own strength and wisdom. By creating an atmosphere of acceptance, I can help you gain insight into your current challenges.

My approach to therapy draws upon a spectrum of theoretical backgrounds - Attachment, Humanistic/Existential, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic and Family Systems. I have diverse work experience and a wide variety of clients, leading to a broad focus for treatment.
With respect to adult counseling services, I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Life Adjustments (divorce, unemployment, death of a loved one, etc.), Trauma, Addictions and Bipolar Disorder.My practice also involves couples counseling and family therapy, where I create understanding of the underlying dynamics that drive conflict and how these can be approached in ways that are more productive and that strengthen relationships.
