I work with individuals, couples and families. My approach to the therapeutic process draws from philosophies and models that value relationship, honesty, self-responsibility, direct communication and the connection of the mind, body, spirit and emotions.

I value direct, interactive relationships with my clients. Therefore, I take a dynamic approach with clients, believing that energetic interactions and feedback are essential in supporting learning, growth and transformation. I work in partnership with clients, paying careful attention to the clients’ concerns and working in partnership to discover and create new possibilities.

Typical concerns I work with include but are not limited to: depression, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, couple and marital issues, family concerns, work stress and "meaning" issues.

I use a variety of therapeutic models committed to transformation by way of addressing the “whole person” – mind, body, spirit and emotions, self-discovery through relationship, imaginative solutions and personal growth.
