Scope of Practice

My primary focus of practice is with individuals, couples and families. I understand that people have to deal with many different kinds of stress leading to difficulties in their personal lives as well as in their relationships with others. I am skilled at working with those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. I have a special interest in working with couples to achieve better communication and more harmonious, satisfying relationships.

Range of Focus

Values and Philosophy

My approach to working with clients is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where the individual or couple is able to talk about his or her feelings within the context of the perceived problem. Once the problem is identified by the client I work with him or her to explore options. My goal is to establish a bond of trust and to support the work the client chooses to do. My role is that of guide and mentor as the individual travels a journey of self exploration and healing.

Therapeutic Technique and Methodology

I am a family systems therapist. As such I see the individual as part of a larger family system. Family of origin issues are usually involved in the problems the individual is experiencing. Part of my work is to explore how the past has contributed to the present. My methodology is solution focused with emphasis on a healthier, more successful future. The modalities I practice from are a variety of cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy.
