Approach:

I believe that it is important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. Finding the right fit and feeling secure in the space will help provide hope and motivation. My theoretical approach is based on the needs and goals of my clients.

During our therapy sessions together I will try to do two things:

1. To listen in a deep, supportive manner providing suggestions when appropriate to meet your individual needs.
2. To help you to strengthen your capacity to direct and guide yourself.

In Couples Therapy I also help with communication skills and building trust and empathy. I am trained in art therapy and hypnotherapy, which I can integrate into our sessions or apply exclusively in either modality. I believe each of those who enter therapy are seeking a happier, more balanced life. All sexual orientations welcome.
