“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about the solutions.” — Albert Einstein. I also believe that the quality of the solution you generate is in direct proportion to your ability to identify the problem you hope to solve. My goal in therapy is to provide you with a safe space to tell your story, to sort through it, examine it and make peace with it. In this process, my hope is that you will be able to clarify your strengths, values and goals and identify practical solutions to overcoming barriers to living a full and meaning-centered life. My therapeutic approach is drawn from different but complementary perspectives, including meaning-centered, psychodynamic and relational therapies. I also incorporate evidenced-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness practices to provide clients with skills to manage day-to-day stress. “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” ― Victor Frankl. The first step is to choose the right therapist. Feel free to call for a no-charge consultation. We’ll clarify your goals and get you going in the right direction.
