I provide therapy that is collaborative. We are getting to know you together – your strengths and weaknesses, the problems you currently face, and how you may use the insights you develop in therapy to better address those problems. I help slow things down enough so we can look at the patterns that at other times happen automatically or too quickly for reflection. I listen to what may be causing you pain in the here and now, but also take into account past experiences and relationships. I’m very serious about creating a trusting environment for you to express and explore worries, thoughts and feelings – in itself a therapeutic process that leads to change. But some symptoms are eased through concrete steps and so we also look at useful strategies where behavior change may lead to insight. This is my approach with adults, teens and children. Considering and even despite our national and world crises, I believe individuals can productively address their unique problems in living. And hop
