About My Clients
My practice is a welcome environment meant to establish a sense of safety and security for everyone and anyone who comes into my office. I am open to helping all those who are seeking insight, awareness and change. My goal is always to establish trust, maintain confidentiality and encompass the issues brought to me with an open mind and heart. The client, my client, and his or her needs and goals, will always be my main focus.
My Background and Approach
I have understood for a long time that I came to be a therapist in a different manner than most. The truth is my personal journey started over 20 years ago when I sought out my own therapist. To say that therapy changed my life is an understatement. The understanding I was able to glean after a lifetime of confusion was literally a new beginning for me. So much so I wanted to help others on that same journey. And here I am all these years later doing just that. My approach is as varied as the client. If there’s one thing my years in practice have taught me, it is that the therapeutic approach needs to be as varied as the client. You after all, are the expert on you. I am here to assist with the many tools my experience and education have given me. I tailor my sessions to your needs and your goals. The journey isn’t ever easy but it is always worth it and it will most definitely be a collaboration.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I specialize in relationships actually, with a focus on the individual, the partnership and the family. We are all a culmination of what we’ve lived through and learned. Some of that is fantastic and worth repeating, other aspects are worth changing. The dynamic of relationship, be it parent-child, spouse, friend, peer, coworker or family member is an encompassing and sometimes chaotic circumstance. It’s in those times I strive to bring understanding and insight. My experience is inclusive of individual, marriage and family therapy. I specialize in trauma, sexual abuse & assault, PTSD, body image/weight loss and ADHD. I also have extensive experience in relationship therapy focusing on the issues of communication, boundaries and goal setting. Of course with regard to couple’s therapy, sex and money are also primary considerations. I believe in an honest, collective, open approach to therapy absent of judgment and focused on meeting your needs and wants.
