Often clients ask me how therapy helps you to feel better, or make lasting changes in how you handle life’s curve balls. Relief from emotional pain and progress on changes you want to make is because of the unique, safe, nonjudgmental relationship that develops with a skilled therapist. It’s about the fit. You need to feel the therapist “gets” you and understands your world. And the therapist needs to have the knowledge and skills to work on what ails you. While I may not be the perfect therapist for every situation, I strive to understand every client. My approach is frank, direct, interactive and caring. My skills have been built over two decades of teaching those who want to be counselors and psychologists in graduate programs, supervising graduate students in counseling, and offering psychotherapy to clients with a variety of difficulties since 2001. I look forward to offering you the support you need. We can work at improving the most important relationships in your life. We can tackle the depression that sticks around from negative self-talk. We can decrease the anxiety that's hijacking your life. Together we can understand the roots of your low self-esteem and rewrite the story you tell yourself about yourself. Life is too short to remain stuck.
