Therapy is taking a risk. I listen to your pain, frustrations, and sit with you through your struggles. If you are experiencing social anxiety, or issues in your relationship, struggling with anger, or addictions, then I can work with you to help develop communication and coping skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while focusing on building skills, and Gestalt to help raise awareness of yourself. Treatment may be brief to address a problem, yet the skills learned may be used without a therapist for future difficulties. Therapy is for growth and change. It is a place to learn and understand yourself.

If you or someone you love is experiencing depression, anxiety, phobias and/or trauma, we can work together to help you improve your quality of life. My strengths include effective yet brief therapy. Have some goals in mind; if therapy was to be helpful, how would your life or relationships be?

If you suffer from phobia, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, addictions, trauma and/or claustrophobia, then Thought Field Therapy (TFT) can be very effective for you. TFT is a very fast and effective approach to lifting negative symptoms. I also use TFT when someone is stuck in their process during therapy.
