Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
I believe that psychotherapy is an interpersonal journey of discovery of new perspectives and new ideas on the issues that concern the client(s). The therapist lends his or her knowledge of psychotherapeutic techniques, desire to help, ability to empathize, and his or her ideas from past and present experience The client brings curiosity about himself or herself, expertise on his or her own experience, and a desire/need to change. I have spent 15+ years working with older adults facing life transitions and needing to develop coping skills for ongoing life problems as well as symptoms such as anxiety and depression. I also have worked with a variety of clients, including couples, families, and adolescents with interpersonal issues. I believe that psychological healing emerges from a close, trusting, interpersonal relationship between a knowledgeable, empathic therapist and (a) highly valued client(s). As an older adult with years of experience with a varied clientele, I am well situated to put these beliefs into practice.
