My approach is strength based, fluid and is shaped by the different needs of each client. I will work collaboratively with you to develop goals and style, which best supports your needs.
Any and all of the techniques can be applied to people who are challenged with psychological, emotional, and relational distress and present acute and/or chronic suffering.
Psychodynamic. An approach which focuses on the way that experiences and early dynamics have affected our beliefs about ourselves, our relationships and the world. This approach focuses on understanding the influence of the past on present behavior and feelings. This is an insight oriented approach.
Cognitive Behavioral. An approach which focuses on the way that thoughts, behaviors and feelings affect one another. This approach focuses on learning to change our thoughts and behaviors in order to change how we feel. This is a concrete behavior oriented approach.
Mindfulness. An approach which focuses on the present awareness of our thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. This approach focuses on acceptance and nonjudgmental observation of ourselves and our environment. This approach increases control of attention, relaxation and presence.
Relational Psychotherapy. An approach with focuses on the understanding that in order for a person to be emotionally healthy, he or she must maintain fulfilling and satisfying relationships with those around them. It provides an atmosphere of empathy and attentiveness in order to elicit a full disclosure of the client’s experiences, events, and the affects they have had both relationally and socially.

I offer both weekly as well as intensive couples treatment. Intensive sessions involve meeting multiple times per week for the first few weeks and/or a few hours at each session, depending on your current state of relationship. Intensive treatment can be extremely helpful for couples in crisis, which have been stuck for too long and are in great need to move quickly towards resolution.
