Traditional psychotherapy continues to be a modality I employ to support you. We can create a solution-focused treatment plan in which you will feel immediate relief for a current situation. We can also utilize analysis and cognitive-behavioral techniques to focus on long-term patterns in your life that impede your happiness and ability to thrive.

In home therapy has been found to be more convenient and effective in certain clinical situations. Couples and families often prefer meeting in the comfort of their own homes where they can more closely examine environmental cues and triggers to ongoing problems. Other clients prefer to have their own animals and belongings around them as they work through their inner turmoil. I visit your home to offer support and provide insight about your natural environment.

Women’s issues have been a specialty throughout my career. Through my work with sexual trauma victims, I have discovered that all women are strong, resilient beings with an innate ability to self-heal. In our time together, you will learn how to make the shift from surviving to thriving. Whether you are recovering from a trauma, suffering through depression or anxiety, or simply have lost your center and would like to reconnect with your true nature, therapy can help guide you. I use a combination of CBT, psychoanalysis, intuitive, and experiential therapies, as indicated.

Couples therapy and family therapy continue to be an integral part of my practice. It is my belief that each individual’s progress and change must be worked on in the context of family dynamics and support systems. Explorations of your relationship as a couple or as a family will not only help solve the presenting problem, but will also reveal the more subtle patterns of communication and relating. I provide a safe forum for family members to express themselves, be heard, and have new awareness. I teach communication tactics and offer insight into how relationship breakdowns continue to occur. All family members will be given homework to facilitate an understanding of themselves as they relate to their partner or family.

Psychotherapy Students are always welcome to share in any part of my practice. Through the various services I provide, we will tailor a plan to supplement your school curriculum. You will gain an understanding of your own personal path, along with discovering the invaluable skills that you bring to the field of psychotherapy. Finally, you will be given specific therapy tools to utilize in your chosen area of practice.
