Therapy is not education or advice-giving. People are unique, so elements of therapy are tailored because healing is different for everybody. My treatment approach is an atmosphere were you can speak your mind safely, to someone who listens, listens intelligently, and cares is important. I believe a successful counseling experience depends on the therapists ability to understand and respect the unique concerns, background, and context of each patient. I am committed to achieving such an understanding in every counseling relationship.
I monitor the latest developments in my areas of expertise to ensure you receive the most effective treatment available. I work closely with patients to define specific treatment goals, tailor appropriate treatment plan, and monitor progress to ensure goals are achieved. My area of focus is working with individuals, couple and families.
My work with individuals, couples and families is drawn from psychodynamic, emotionally focused, cognitive behavioral theories using a variety of thoughtful and targeted interventions. My clinical work also draws on schema therapy as an effective treatment approach to both individuals and couples.
