Do you long for more joy and meaning in life? Do you compare and judge resulting in self-doubt and unhappiness? Does your dissatisfaction affect your primary relationships negatively? These are just a few reasons why people decide to try psychotherapy. I can offer you a safe space and a gentle approach to exploring your inner world and finding new and constructive ways of relating to yourself and others. After being licensed in 1984, I worked in private practice and community agencies, taught parenting classes, supervised interns and ran an in-school counseling program for over 30 years. Currently, in private practice, I work with parents, couples, families and individuals. I bring to the psychotherapy room, compassion, years of experience, evidence-based techniques, and a passion for helping others on their journey to find more peace and happiness in their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will get to know each other. I will ask lots of questions and you will have a chance to ask questions and explain what you want out of therapy. With time we build a trusting relationship that allows the client to "let go" and truly express their authentic self. This starts the process of healing and self-realization.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The quality of the client/therapist relationship is the most important aspect of the therapy process. Once the clinical relationship is solid and the client feels safe and trusts, the work begins.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my love of the work, compassion and years of experience are my biggest strengths.
