I have over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy and specialize in helping adults and couples identify and work through the obstacles that are holding them back from living their happiest life.
Relationships are a central part of our lives. If our relationships aren't going well, chances are we aren't functioning to our highest potential in other areas of our lives, and vice-versa. In my private practice I specialize in individual, couples, and family functioning.
Sometimes a mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter, or partner needs individual help to work through their own issues to be able to be at their best for themselves and their families. I'll work collaboratively with you to create a therapy plan that is unique to you and your needs, using methods and formats that will help you most. Additionally, we may decide together to use or or more of the therapeutic approaches described below.
From a more "technical" standpoint, my therapeutic orientation is "eclectic", meaning that I draw from more than one set of techniques or approaches. I tend to use traditional psychodynamic psychotherapy (talk therapy that often explores past relationships and experiences and helps you make a connection between your past and your present issues), cognitive behavioral therapy (determining how your thoughts and behaviors interact to help or hurt you, and working on changing your thoughts and thought patterns for the better), and behavioral therapy (examining how problematic behaviors get triggered and working to replace those behaviors with healthier ones) the most, often combining these approaches in a way that will best help you or your loved ones. I also place importance on lifestyle habits and choices such as diet, sleep, and exercise. I greatly value common sense, trust, professionalism, hope, humor, and providing my clients with the skills you need to be successful in your life.
I do not currently accept any health insurance, but I am happy to provide you with detailed invoices to submit to your health insurance for reimbursement if they accept out of network providers.
