The purpose of Psychotherapy is to understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This process helps you get to know yourself better and increases control of your life. An important theme of our work is to eliminate your emotional pain and negative thinking. Most of us are too self critical and constantly second guess ourselves. This interferes with our overall happiness and our relationships with others. Together we establish healthier coping skills and get you back on track.

I will spend the initial sessions getting to know you and listening to your life story in a safe environment. Working with me can provide new insight, support and new strategies for all types of life’s challenges.

As a practical, interactive therapist my approach is to provide constructive, manageable solutions to your problems. With compassion and sensitivity, I help my clients achieve their goals through the development of problem solving skills and confidence building with continuous feedback and clarification. I will help you identify and challenge irrational, unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving that are keeping you from being fulfilled. Ultimately, you will learn to become a powerful agent for self-change. Overall, people in my therapy practice tend to have lower levels of anxiety and stress, decreased conflict and improved quality of life because they are at peace with themselves and others.
