Individual Adult Treatment

My therapeutic philosophy is empathic and interactive, analytic and flexible with what you need. Our work will be based on a collaborative psychotherapy that will consider the whole of you and your health. It could involve psychodynamic insight, coaching, cognitive-behavioral approaches, motivational counseling, mindfulness practice or other types of work. If meds could be of help, we will carefully consider them as one part of an integrated treatment approach. I draw on my wide range of experience to best be of help to you. I invite you to explore my Integrated Mental Health blog.

Couples Treatment

Picture
My couples therapeutic philosophy  is based on enhancing empathy and improving communication between you as partners.  I believe that the challenges of a partnership offers one of life's best opportunities for deep growth of the self and the spirit. I don't think that any one formula works for each couple. You, as a couple, have a unique chemistry, and it is from that position that I hope we find your best path. I draw on my wide range of  experience to best be of help to you. 
As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force.
