My philosophy

I view my clients as multi-dimensional people — with physical, psychological and spiritual needs — who are doing the best they can to have a gratifying and meaningful life.

My role as a therapist is to assist each person to expand their awareness of self and interactions with others, including unsatisfying patterns and behaviors. I use a holistic approach, promoting wellness in all aspects of my clients' lives: emotional, relational, mental, physical, and spiritual.

The methods used to help clients reach their goals will vary, depending on the personalities of the therapist and client, as well as the particular issues the client wants to address.

There are a number of effective approaches we can use; part of the art of therapy is finding what works for you.

Partner Counseling:

When couples first start counseling, they often have a lot of anger, hurt, and sadness.
Couples therapy is designed to find solutions to problems, express and let go of resentments, rebuild trust through good communication, and learn how to live with different points of view.
