There are times when a person tries to improve how they feel or to better a relationship or to fix a personal problem. But they find themselves stuck or the situation worsens. In those cases, it can be helpful to talk to someone who can help you see your position more clearly and to find ways to effectively deal with the matter.

Talking through your thoughts, feelings and problems can assist you in regaining a sense of control and balance in your life. Counseling can help you to identify goals that will address your needs and then make a plan to turn your life around in the right direction.

After all, seeking expert advice is what any successful person would do if they had financial, legal or physical health questions. The same prinicple is true when it comes to emotional or relationship problems. It is a sign of good judgement to search out the best assistance available when a difficulty of any kind is holding you back from enjoying the healthiest and most rewarding life possible.

With over twenty years of experience, my mission is to provide you with the highest quality, personalized and effective psychotherapy possible.

My office is a private practice. That assures that all of your interactions with my office will be directly with me. When you call, either I will answer the phone or, if I am in a session, you will get my confidential voicemail. All aspects of your treatment are handled discretely, confidentially and with the utmost of care and concern.

I work with teenagers and adults to resolve individual, relationship and family problems.

My training includes psychodynamic, cognitive and behavioral therapies. When we have our first session, I will take a thorough and careful history of your situation and goals. We will discuss the various treatment options available to help you. Together, we will select the method and goals of counseling to overcome the obstacles to change and progress in your life.

My clients range in age from 12 to senior citizens and from all genders, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

I tailor my treatment to best match the individual needs and goals of my clients. I do not use a "cookie cutter" or "one size fits all" approach. Your treatment should be individually customized so that it is comfortable to you and, at the same time, is effective in making the changes that you seek.

My practice provides you with a safe, supportive place to discuss and explore your situation. We will privately assess your difficulties and the choices available to address them. We will begin with an emphasis on your strengths and abilities to stabilize your problem area and then to make progress toward your goals. Along the way, we can develop new skills to cope with the stresses and issues that brought you into treatment.
