Practice Description:

My philosophy of therapy is to use a collaborative approach in order to utilize people's strengths and resources in order to help them put into effect the changes they wish to see. I am open to see individuals, couples, and families for a variety of issues, including but not limited to: personal exploration, life transitions, couple’s enrichment/premarital, parenting, and grief & loss. I am committed to creating a safe environment that honors diverse backgrounds, family forms, and experiences.

 

The Therapeutic Process & the Cost of Change:

Change has many costs and benefits, all of which cannot be foreseen. Some possible benefits that may be gained from participating in therapy include a greater sense of self, a stronger sense of happiness and empowerment, more positive relationships with family and friends, and for children, improved behavior at home and school. In working to achieve these benefits, however, people may experience significant discomfort. Remembering and working through unpleasant events or attempting to change negative behaviors can bring up feelings of anger, fear, depression, frustration, and confusion. As a result, you or your relationships may have the experience of things getting worse before they get better. While our goal is to improve the quality of life for you, your relationship, or your family, there can be no guarantee of a “cure” in the practice of psychotherapy. That being said, remember that therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships – an invaluable venture.
             

The Length of Therapy:

Generally, therapy sessions last 50 minutes long. Typically, I schedule sessions on a weekly basis, but as therapy progresses, it may be helpful to schedule more or less frequently dependent upon your needs. The length of therapy depends on several factors in your, your partner’s, or your family’s past and present experiences. Generally, the more distant or severe the issue, the longer the process will take. Progress will be accelerated through regular and timely participation in therapy.

 

About Me:

I am a highly trained therapist with a great deal of experience in relational/family therapy, hospice grief counseling, and conducting individual and group sessions. I maintain a commitment to continue to learn from and train with masters in the field.
