Welcome and thank you for your interest. The process of choosing a psychotherapist can be an art and science in and of itself. The psychotherapy profession offers myriad styles, contents, and specialties. Just how do you find the right therapist for yourself? It is important for you to gain an understanding about how an individual therapist views the process of personal growth and change. In this spirit, let me introduce my work.

I believe in the collaborative process in which both therapist and client are co-participants in transformation. Successful and meaningful psychotherapy requires a trusting therapeutic space based on a foundation of respect, compassion and a desire for self-knowledge. I believe that empathy employed with skillful insight creates the conditions in which positive change can occur and be sustained.

Joys and difficulties in living never arise in a vacuum, but always in the context of relationships, and research suggests that a supportive yet challenging psychotherapeutic relationship promotes emotional healing.
