As a seasoned clinician (25+yrs experience) I find the work deeply rewarding. My primary focus is relational but can integrate other techniques. Good therapy helps people to develop a stronger sense of identity, self worth and agency. We can explore strengths, longings, disappointments, stuck places, self defeating behaviors, caregiver strain and coping tools. We can work to deepen relationships and focus on greater satisfaction in both your personal & professional life. Prefer initial contact via text (or email) telling me about yourself and what you are looking to work on in therapy.
I bring extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family concerns, sexuality, academic underachievement, creative blocks, work dissatisfaction, grief, trauma &life transitions. I have a calm, thoughtful approach and am not easily thrown. In addition to a broad based psychotherapy practice, also specialize in group psychotherapy.
My style is active, interactive, curious and respectful. I work at a level of depth but am also practical and down to earth. Clients describe me as "warm, wise and easy to talk to". They like my blend of challenge and support, honesty, directness, sense of humor and lack of judgment. Therapy is serious yet can also be fun.
