Treatment Approach

How can I help? My practice was established to serve adults, teens and couples. My Treatment approaches include:

CBT is a psychotheraputic approach that helps patients identify disfunctional thoughts and reframe them to handle difficult emotions and behaviors.

Psychodymanic therapy is an approach that helps patients understand their present problems as they relate to their early life experiences and helps them to make changes based on this understanding.

Family and couples therapy is an approach that helps people understand how they relate to others in intimate relationships and fosters change and development of relationship skills.

My approach to therapy is straight forward and personable. I see symptoms or life problems as the mind’s “wake-up call” signaling the need for change and growth. I enjoy working with people to help maximize their strengths and meet their goals. My thirty years of varied practice experience enable me to understand most problems and work expeditiously to help you solve them. I work well with individuals or couples who are experiencing problems with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, stress, relationship problems, phobias or addictions. I offer evening hours. I use cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic approaches and family/couples therapy but I’m also comfortable using other approaches to augment these. I work together with you to help you understand your symptoms better and to make appropriate changes for symptom relief and personal growth.
