Mission Statement:
To help people improve their emotional well being,
enhance their ability to engage in interpersonal
relationships and to empower them with the tools
necessary to take control of their lives.
By helping my clients
recognize and appreciate their unique strengths
and abilities, I can facilitate the realization
of their personal goals and ultimately help
people to gain greater sense of meaning in
their lives.
My Practice:
My work is characterized by intuition,
compassion, optimism and collaboration. I
try to be straightforward without being harsh,
and encouraging without any pressure. I am
approachable. I’d rather joke with
people than judge them, and though I love
to talk, I find listening as powerful.
Individual Psychotherapy:
Starting the process of individual
counseling can be both empowering and frightening.
I am very aware of the feelings that may
be brought to the first few sessions. For
this reason, it is the client who sets the
pace initially. My approach is solution focused
and proactive. Working as a team, we try
to gain biographical insight, confront obstacles
to change and develop skills, which will
lead to confident decision making and lasting
solutions.
I’ve worked with
individuals suffering from depression and
low self esteem, anxiety and anxiety disorders
(fears, phobias, panic attacks, and obsessions),
general stress, the challenge of entering
or exiting a relationship, parenting, career
problems, sexual concerns and sexual identity
issues, addictions, body image, trauma and
PTSD, and bereavement.
Are you looking
to start a new relationship?
Clients often tell me that they are frustrated that
they have not yet met the right partner, and wonder
why. I’ve found that navigating the world of
dating today takes equal measures of guts, smarts,
patience, and a strong dose of optimism. A lot of energy
is spent putting on the best face when two people meet
for the first time – yet frequently psychological
barriers keep them from achieving the results we so
often desire. If being single is holding you back from
having the life you crave, let’s work together
to:
- Set realistic goals – what
are you looking for in a relationship and
what is getting in the way of achieving
it?
- Create a dating plan
that suits your level of comfort and commitment
- Learn tools to overcome
shyness and other potential stumbling blocks
that may be inhibiting you from moving
forward and getting what you want in a
relationship.
