My Approach
A Competency Based Practice
For more than 30 years, I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults using a competency-based approach — one that begins with the unique strengths each person and family already brings.
I work with clients to gain a sense of mastery over what is challenging, using an approach rooted in the belief that each of us has the capacity to grow.
In our work, I hope to help foster your intellectual and emotional curiosity, a deeper self-awareness and a clearer understanding of what supports or limits your growth.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy helps us understand ourselves more clearly — how we show up in the world, and how to navigate challenges with greater ease. Good therapy invites us to examine the strengths that serve us and the patterns that no longer do.
How We Work Together
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy creates space to work through relationship challenges together, deepening communication, intimacy, and respect. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with more positive interactions and a stronger sense of understanding.
Family Therapy
Family therapy takes a strengths-based view — understanding problems as systemic patterns, not as belonging to any one person. It fosters cohesion, communication, empathy, healthy boundaries, and reduced conflict.
I believe each of us is resilient, has inherent strengths and wisdom, and the ability to choose how we respond to our experiences and the world around us.
