The combination of my past work experience in human services, my 25+ years in private practice, and my life experience, I have learned that every person is unique and faces unique challenges. I have developed a multi modal approach to therapy as I find drawing on techniques from several approaches allows me tailor my sessions to meet the needs of each client, depending on their situation, their values and their needs.
Life is full of challenges and at times such challenges may leave one feeling overwhelmed or stuck and unsure how to move forward. Whether what one is facing is a minor or a major concern, engaging in therapy can be helpful in many ways. Through talk therapy my aim is to gain and understanding of the uniques ness of each individual and to assist them to
manage the stresses they face
recognize there own strengths
bring clarity to their thoughts, emotions and feeling
define their goals
identify and assess possible courses of action
and
move forward with intention

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
