Working with Individuals, Couples and Families
Psychotherapy: I work with men, women and couples. Therapy is a private and protected time to focus on what is most essential to you. I believe that good therapy increases clarity of desire and intention and with awareness comes the ability to make good choices. Together, we can discern the patterns that hold you back and the steps you wish to take to live at your best. I am comfortable working with severe distress, nagging malaise or a desire for personal growth. My style is pragmatic, compassionate, direct and includes a focus on building skills you can use to live in a way that honors your values and intentions.
