First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Besides my years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life, many different presenting issues, and all levels of readiness for therapy. All of these interactions have solidified my belief that we have a shared human experience and can benefit from an objective, accepting, non-judgmental connection with another human being. I provide just such a connection.
Ideal clients
Motivated, willing to change perspectives, struggling with anxiety, grief and/or relationship difficulties
Treatment methods
Couples Counseling
I have almost 20 years of experience working with couples, mostly from a Rational Emotive relational perspective.
Gestalt
I utilize the concepts of Gestalt theory into my work, most often the awareness of the here and now and where we get stuck in our creative adjustments.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I was trained in Internal Family Systems in graduate school as a way to understand how we arrive where we are today as well as relational patterns.
