Congratulations for taking the first and hardest step towards improving your life. I work in partnership with clients to identify goals and create movement towards better functioning and successful relationships. With over twenty years of full-time experience as a psychotherapist, I bring to bear a broad range of experience such as hospital-based specialty treatment, outpatient partial program treatment, and private practice among others.
The first session is really about looking for 'fit'. Clients and therapists alike get a sense of how the working alliance may feel, while simultaneously looking at compatibility of clinical concerns and treatment goals. Please if you are a COUPLE needing support, contact me PRIOR to scheduling so we may assess best options.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
There is no single treatment modality to fit all. Usually my clients grow from learning through cog b, attachment theory, psychodynamic, family systems, and B-mod.

She brings me a lot of vocabulary that allows me to take some notes naming issues with more precise wording than some of my informal l
