My specialty is directing by use of well tailored questions to help you find your way. It is a blend of client centered, psychodynamic, and insight oriented therapies. It is important for me to help you determine your goals and reach them efficiently. We do this by taking what you bring each week and processing it in light of your history, experiences, perspective, and stated treatment goals. I aim to be the skilled confidant that accompanies you while gaining insight into your situation and who you are as an individual. Growing in self understanding helps make decisions that can be incorporated into your life and make your own. This “new normal” becomes a way of life as you grow to employ the new tools you will have gained in therapy. My ideal clients do not want psychological platitudes in the form of advice but want to be stretched and challenged.Specialties:Family ConflictDepressionSexual AddictionIssues:AddictionAnger ManagementAnxietyCareer CounselingCoping SkillsDivorceEmotional DisturbanceGriefInternet AddictionLife CoachingObesityParentingPeer RelationshipsRelationship IssuesSelf EsteemSex TherapySpiritualitySuicidal IdeationTesting and EvaluationMental Health:Mood Disorders
