About me
I am an experienced therapist who has spent more than 25 years helping people move beyond anxiety, depression, relational issues and trauma toward a life that is more personally and professionally fulfilling.
Psychotherapy that is tailored to your needs can help you open the door to many new possibilities. In this process we work together to help you get in touch with what you really want for yourself, gain insight into whatever has been getting in the way of reaching those goals, and rediscover the power that you have within you to move toward a life that is more personally and professionally rewarding. The process is respectful of who you are, mindful of your potential, and responsive to what you really need for personal growth at this time.
I am known to be empathic, insightful, caring and skilled, and have a broad range of training in relational, cognitive-behavioral, and mind-body approaches to therapy (EMDR, AEDP, psychomotor and hypnosis) that I draw upon as needed to support you in your healing process.
My goal is always to work with you to create the therapeutic experience that best matches your needs. The first step is often the most difficult. Feel free to email or call me to discuss the possibilities. There is no charge for the initial phone consultation.
