My Approach

As a therapist, my approach is guided by my ethics and professional experiences, all painted upon the canvas of my personal experiences. 

I became a therapist because I do not want people who need help to be isolated, ashamed, or without the help needed to improve their circumstances. I did not want someone to feel as though they did not have support. 

My focus is to assist you in reducing your shame and increasing your confidence in your capacity to make changes. 

My focus in family and conjoint sessions, in which family members join for the support of the client, is to facilitate healthy, effective communication around common goals and interests. 

Ethics and kindness are important to me, but over the years I've also developed a style of being willing to ask questions designed to bring you closer to the progress you need. 

Therapy may represent some of the hardest work you do, as you will uncover difficulties with more detail and more understanding of the hurt involved. As your therapist, I will support you in your journey.
