Therapy Services

I am often asked what kind of a therapist are you as in what kind of “theoretical approach” do you use and although I adhere to an eclectic approach in my therapy practice, and I use a variety of therapeutic modalities including humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and existential psychology. But, in all honesty, it all depends and there are many factors that are at play when it comes to each and every client. My over all approach is to simply meet you where you are and to allow the energy in the room to carry us where we need to go.

My practice is influenced by an eclectic approach and I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT and existential psychology.

My clients describe me as an active therapist who is caring, supportive, empathetic, validating, and one who gently and steadily pushes for growth and change. My style is warm and interactive and feel each client needs to have an active role in the outcome of their own life and encourage you by fostering the development of safety and trust in our therapeutic relationship, so that together we can explore and process what may be inaccessible or overwhelming to do alone.

Who I help

Therapy is a time and place where we can slow down and take a closer look at the obstacles and difficulties we face in our lives. I strive to create an environment of safety, non-judgment and compassion in order to make room for uncomfortable or overwhelming emotions. I work holistically to help clients understand the sources of their suffering and integrate all aspects of their lives into a harmonious and balanced well-being.

During the therapeutic process, you'll discover things about you and your life that you didn't know before, experience your feelings beginning to change, and discover new possibilities and solutions.
