Have you tried therapy before but it didn't really stick? A lot of people think what they're dealing with is anxiety or depression, because that is what it feels like to them. But if you also notice recurring emotional patterns, like feeling rejected, abandoned, not good enough; or behavioral patterns like pouring yourself into work or hobby, avoiding something or someone, or striving for perfection and people pleasing, these could be signs that common therapies for anxiety and depression just aren't going to cut it for you.

I am a strong believer that you must treat the individual sitting across from you. This inspires my value of collaboration with clients to create a therapeutic environment that is tailored to their unique needs.

My style has been described as innovative yet practical. I work with clients to develop healthier ways of coping with life and creating more satisfying relationships. A non-judgmental, trusting therapeutic relationship is essential. Experiential learning and educational materials provide the basis for lasting change.

Relationship skills involve communication, conflict resolution, keeping love alive and refining commitment.
