Life can be really hard on us. We live in a high-pressure environment, where you can sometimes feel the stress around you. We navigate complex relationships and difficult life transitions that seem to come up all the time. We deal with expectations for how and what we “should” be doing – as professionals, parents, spouses, partners, children, friends, coaches, you name it – and we put ourselves last, making it hard to attend to our own well-being. 

 

Therapy is your chance to do just that – take the sorely needed time you need to deal with life’s stressors, be it everyday responsibilities, long-standing anxiety, coping with depression, or grappling with past or ongoing traumatic events. Therapy is a way to establish hope that change is possible, and through our work together, you can achieve that change and ultimately feel better.

 

I strongly believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. To that end, I take special care in cultivating and maintaining our relationship, placing special emphasis on trust, respect and unconditional positive regard without judgment. My primary approaches to treatment are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy and solution-focused therapy and I adapt the use of each to what suits you, the client, best. 

 

If this sounds like a setting that will put you at ease and one in which you can explore, examine and process the distress you are experiencing, I encourage you to set up an appointment with me. Or, if you’d like to have a brief chat before meeting, I’m happy to do that as well; I can appreciate wanting to get a feel for whether there is a connection before coming in for a session. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
