I bring to our therapeutic relationship over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families. As a therapist I am deeply invested in my clients’ unique stories. It is my goal to help them develop insight into the ways that their past and present intersect with their neurobiology while also uncovering the narrative they developed as a way to make sense of their experiences. This takes us to a space of understanding and connection which is often where change happens.
My style is open and honest. I probably talk more than some other therapists and I don’t believe that awkward silence or blank stares are helpful in this process. I bring my full self to our sessions so you feel like you are talking to a real person.  It is in this context that clients are most likely to bring their own full self to the session as well.
I use humor and a lot of analogies to help clients develop insight and find new ways to look at old problems.  Although therapy can’t magically fix things, it is helpful to have someone hold up a mirror to help you see what is there while simultaneously supporting you and always rooting for you.
