As an interactive therapist, my treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients address current life challenges and long-standing issues.  I believe life is a journey with a series of choices and that therapy is about change. 

Sometimes we get stuck in an effort to copy with life-changing events.  At times when life pressures become too great we may develop negative patterns of thougt, or distortions and assumptions that are not totally true. Feelings and behaviors follow the distorted thoughts and create further distress. Sometimes we find that we repeatedly make the same mistakes and unhealthy choices. 

I assist clients as they become aware of reoccurring life patterns and help explore motivations and opportunities for positive change and personal growth. With an integration of cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic exploration, I  incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. In a comfortable and supportive environment we work together to develop strengths, increase skills, and achieve life goals.  I believe it is a courageous person who pursues therapy.
