Personal Statement

My orientation acknowledges the need to address issues on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. My personal style is typically direct and practical with an element of humor to help maintain perspective. In a typical therapy session, I attempt to keep a focus on the goals as defined by you, and to ensure that you acquire an increased understanding of the issues at hand - not just a temporary solution. I have found that a one-therapy-style-fits-all approach does not help in achieving goals, so I will try to meet you in a manner that increases your comfort level and effectiveness in resolving difficult problems.

After many years of experience helping others to cope with rather intense issues, such as trauma, abuse, sexual issues, and the failure of a relationship, I hope to find a way to help you feel comfortable in discussing any concerns that are affecting your life.

I am conversant with alternative therapies, including diet, nutritional supplements, and meditation.

Initially, the focus of my experience as a therapist was on the treatment of trauma. Since then, I have expanded into assisting others in continuing their personal evolution by resolving the difficulties that anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can present. Through it all, I believe that it is possible to continue in our personal growth.
