I understand that taking the first step to initiate therapy is not always easy. Individuals often seek therapy when they have difficulty with stress management, anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, alcohol or drug addiction, big life transitions, illness, and/or trauma related difficulties. I will provide a warm, safe and confidential environment for you to speak freely about your concerns, difficulties and hopes, and I will draw on several different treatment modalities, (including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, internal family systems therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, clinical hypnotherapy and holistic therapies) to best help you effect change and reach your goals. My approach is interactive and direct, and I enjoy developing warm and trusting relationships with my clients.
