Individual Therapy:My approach to therapy is holistic; I believe individuals are best understood by taking into account all aspects of functioning. I integrate cognitive, affective and behavioral techniques while addressing presenting concerns. This approach enables clients to think about their beliefs and assumptions, to experience their conflicts and struggles on a feeling level, and to actually translate their insights into action by behaving in new ways. I strive to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship so that clients feel safe and accepted as they develop greater self-awareness and work toward achieving personal goals.

Couples Therapy:Much the same as with individual therapy, I approach couples therapy holistically and take into account all aspects of the relationship. In working with couples, I match to the unique-ness of each relationship in order to provide support and strategies that 'fit' each couple's specific beliefs, background and goals. Infidelity, communication problems, financial stress, differing upbringings and parenting styles — all can contribute to distress in relationships. I view couples therapy as a joint venture between myself and each couple as we work to gain understanding, resolve conflicts and heal wounds. Couples are provided the tools to communicate better, negotiate differences, problem solve and even argue in a healthier way.

Family Therapy:I have extensive experience working with families from varying backgrounds. In working with families I view the family unit as the 'client'; each member plays a critical role in the family dynamic. I focus on the positive intentions and goals that direct behavior, providing new perspectives and encouraging empathy among family members. I strive to reframe challenging situations and behaviors while offering new meaning to problems before implementing behavior change strategies. This approach ensures that new skills and behaviors are designed specifically to meet the unique needs of each family, ultimately resulting in maintaining long-term success.
