I believe change occurs when people are willing to try out new ways of acting with support and encouragement. I will help you see that you have choices and that you can start acting and thinking in ways that make your vision of a satisfying life a reality. I am solution focused and although I believe therapy is a process, I am comfortable working in both a short-term and long-term model. Sometimes you might just need short-term counseling to help you through a tough time and help you to regain your equilibrium.  For other clients, you may have had long-term difficulties and ongoing support, education and learning new coping skills may enhance your functioning and satisfaction with life. I work from a framework that integrates psychodynamic concepts, family systems theories and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
