Welcome

Are you considering individual psychotherapy, marriage counseling or relationship therapy?

Finding the right professional to help you or a loved one when feeling uncertain about the process of therapy itself can be quite a confusing task. I hope my website gives you some clarity about psychotherapy and counseling while telling you a little about me and how I work.

People often seek help from a psychotherapist when they want relief from feelings of emotional distress, such as depression, irritability, or anxiety, or they want to better cope with the stress that impacts their normal sense of well-being. Others seek psychotherapy for personal growth or to address deeper unresolved issues that impact them, making it difficult to have positive interpersonal relationships. An important part of my work as a therapist is to help individuals gain insight and recognize their strengths in order to move past the barriers that prevent them from living a full and happy life.

Couples seek marriage counseling or relationship therapy with me to improve their relationships, open their communication with each other and to learn how to talk about difficult topics. As they learn to better communicate, individuals begin to identify their own thoughts, feelings and beliefs that trigger many of the relationship conflicts. I help couples learn to truly listen to each other's perspective and develop new skills and ways to be together in order to move past old hurts and ways of relating that no longer work. Relationship therapy can help motivated couples develop a new relationship vision and a closer, more intimate connection.

Whatever your concern, I offer a free phone consultation to help you determine whether therapy is the right treatment for you and whether you would like to schedule a first therapy session with me.


How long will I need therapy?

A common question that new clients raise is how long they will need therapy. While the answer to this question varies from person to person, the duration of your treatment will depend on my recommendations and your treatment needs, your desired outcome and motivation. In general, the most helpful, effective therapy depends on a good therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client. An excellent client-therapist relationship is the foundation of my practice.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help individuals feel better and live a more fulfilled life, whether it is short-term treatment to help clients regain their sense of well-being or more long-term work to help them gain insight and empower them to make changes in their lives.

 


I feel privileged to be a therapist and honored that people trust me to share their lives, their stories and deepest concerns. I genuinely respect my clients and provide a confidential, compassionate and safe therapeutic environment for them.

Please call or email me today with any questions or to schedule an initial appointment for an individual, couples or family therapy consultation.
