As an experienced therapist, I have treated many different, and sometimes difficult, problems faced by individuals, couples and families. A careful assessment is made and together we develop a treatment plan that combines direction, compassion, and a belief in our ability to make positive changes.
Client Focus
Session Format: Couple, Family, Individual sessions.
Age Specialty: Adult
Treatment Approach
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: Depending on the problem, I may use attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral, EMDR mindfulness, or emotion-focused therapy. These approaches help you work with your thoughts, feelings, and behavior so that you not only feel better, but also live better

I offer psychotherapy and counseling to individual, couples and families. Most of my clients seek help for problems such as depression, anxiety, worry, and stress. Many clients are experiencing problems in their marriage or relationship. Sometimes the therapy goals involve acceptance, sometimes they involve change, and we always strive for greater understanding of self and others. Each session, guided by specific therapy goals, is interactive, collaborative, and respectful. I am comfortable working with people in recovery from addictions, including sex addiction. I have experience working with couples where there is infidelity and affairs, and I have helped many of them find a way back from the pain of betrayal.
