About Therapy

I provide counseling for  individuals, couples, and families seeking help in a range of issues that are unique to each client.  From relational conflict to mood disorders, I utilize a systemic approach that explores current problems within the social, environmental, and cultural context of life experiences and the impact these experiences have on both physical and mental health.  My theoretical orientation is eclectic to best match each client and their unique situation.  For some, this may involve exploring patterns of thought and behavior and the impact those patterns have on emotion, while others may benefit from a more solution-oriented approach that works to identify specific goals and how to reach them.  Behind each approach, however, rests an underlying holistic (or whole person) view that the symptoms a client presents are often only one piece of a larger puzzle towards well being.  Therapy is a collaborative process where client and therapist work together to identify the nature of the problem and how best to address it.
