Change is difficult, but it can also be exciting. Whether you are considering dealing with problems you have lived with for years, or facing a crisis in your life as a result of an unexpected event, you have it within you to face this challenge and emerge stronger for it.

I stress the importance of a strong, caring, give-and-take relationship with my clients, and pride myself on being able to identify on some level with every person I work with. My approach depends on each person's particular needs and goals. For those dealing with broad concerns such as life transitions, existential or identity issues, or interpersonal relationships, my approach tends to be exploratory and insight-oriented. For those seeking resolution of a specific problem or set of symptoms (such as OCD, substance abuse, or stress), I take a fairly structured, goal- and skills-oriented approach to treatment. My style is always active, candid, and collaborative.
