As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you to uncover your true potential and to lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
I have worked extensively with clients around important transitional issues, i.e. choosing a partner, starting a family, career development. I have helped individuals and couples cope with the stress of parenting, divorce, step-parenting, bereavement, retirement, and relocation. The ways in which we respond to stress can become a terrible burden or open a pathway to growth. It is my job to create an environment that encourages exploration through a collaborative process, utilizing empathy, humor, and sound judgement.
