Sometimes you may have a specific problem for which you are seeking help - like low mood, worry, sleep problems, or trouble at home or work - and sometimes you just want to explore yourself or develop ways to live a fuller, happier life. As your therapist, my goal is to help you clearly identify and explore the issue, and provide the assistance, guidance and coping skills to address an array of mental, emotional and general life issues, and restore hope. It is truly a pleasure to help you explore what's important to you and appreciate yourself in the world.
I utilize an integrative, strengths-based approach to therapy, emphasizing brief solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational interviewing techniques to help you explore your life or the problem at hand, and develop ways to do or look at things differently, and resolve or improve the problem.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages, and have a particular passion for working with those aged 65 and better and those who are providing care to others. I have 15 years' experience working with individuals on issues of transition, loss, grief, and coping with medical illness.
