Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth. It is also helpful in overcoming common symptoms such as anxiety and depression, for improving relationships and for changing behaviors that may hinder quality of life. It is common to experience hesitation or ambivalence when starting therapy, much like many other new beginnings. I encourage you to try. People frequently report feeling better just by taking the first step of calling and making a first appointment. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which, together, we will explore, understand and conquer the obstacles you have encountered in your journey.My approach is respectful, compassionate and genuine. I am invested in your success and skillfully combine acceptance of your uniqueness while helping you achieve change. In our work, I will draw from a variety of treatment approaches that have evidence for being effective and match your personal goals and needs.My work with couples is based on the EFT model (Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples) in which I have advanced level training. EFT is an evidence based therapeutic approach that helps couples achieve positive changes in their dynamic in order to foster a more secure bond between them.
